The Atkins conference was very very quick. He did position something interesting re: Bo. Complimented his athletic ability and pushing through then said they're not engaged yet in talks because he's earned the right to get to free agency and they are respecting that. To me that tells me he really wants to see what's out there as they left it too long. IMO he's every bit important as Vlad. I didn't like Vlad's 14 year contract, so if he's seeking that I'd pass. As long as he's committed to fitness I'd give him some solid dollars. The term is really scary though. I really hope nobody gives him more than 7 years.
