Yeah. I think the market for the "not quite at the very top" guys has weakened considerably with the TV deal issues, especially for long deals as teams are no longer confident their revenues will always go up.

I think Boras was the right guy for a rising/tight market, but I'm not so sure his strategy of holding out for the last dollar is a good one right now. It's definitely riskier - if you hold out for the last dollar but misjudge which dollar that is you can end up missing out completely.
