I think he felt he needed time to explain to Perry exactly what his role was and why Chicago wanted him so badly.
I don't think Perry is just about the money these days. Perhaps Perry might have quickly signed with a contender who offered him $2M? It simply wasn't worth the risk.
And Davidson is their GM, Richardson the coach. And Davidson seems to know exactly what he is doing these days. Although it's easy to look smart when you have a ton of cap space and won the lottery.
