The line in the sand was clearly a one year deal, no exceptions. And for good reason based off of what just happened.
To me that's where the AAV would be important to know.

If he's asking for a raise or the same salary and 2 years (ie. 2 years at $2.5M+) then I would have an issue with the second year for sure.

However if they were willing to take a pay cut (aka $2M or less), then I'd be comfortable getting the 2nd year with some upside that if he plays, he's likely going to outplay that deal.
