That deal doesn’t help his cause, but it is an outlier so it doesn’t sink him either. There is a lot of risk in the tact his team is taking, as signing now and going to a team with a discounted year attached might bring him some consideration in an extension. I’m sure he’d like to go to Vegas, but doubt he’ll accept a huge discount to go there as a free agent. If he doesn’t bend his resolve a bit he may find himself taking a lesser or even, show me deal next summer.
Don’t blame him for exercising his rights, but not every hand you play in poker ends up a winner….
