And I don't want the headache of paying Fred the $33M/year he's looking for. Or even the $28.5M/yr max extension that we may have offered, that he won't take. And even if he opts in at $22M... then, we're right back this toxic environment of his future contract hanging over the team like a bad smell to start another season.
People think I'm a hater, but no... I appreciate Fred's big cajones to help us get the chip and also being a stand-up dude and pillar of our culture. But at this point we need to start betting on the future of our team.... rather than paying gratitude & loyalty for the past. And by betting on the team, I mean... I trust this management team armed with first round draft picks.... so if we can get even 1 FRP back for Fred.... that's a win.
