    I feel even better actually. Doesn’t change my stance one bit on my expecting AR to live up to what he’s getting paid now. Nice try though.

    Windhorst made that number up. He was saying they offered him something like a 50% increase.

    Most likely we started at 185m for 5 years and they started at 240m. We somehow got to offering only 4 years and they asked for the PO.

    I’m sure his agents said we’re walking if it’s not the max - Detroit and Brooklyn are happy to offer it to us. We then relented.

    It’s a fair negotiation and not much else we could offer done. But let’s not act like it isn’t about the money.
