He's at the same spot Mike Daniels was in when he departed GB.  Not apples to apples, defensive player and offensive player.  Even so, there's more reluctance to do a third contract for any position.  Again, it always seems like the best FAs get paid more than their going rate.  That's life........</blockquote>
