That said, IMO - he thinks he's worth that and will pursue the highest bidder in FA.
Frankly, if I were him I'd do the same thing - that's the smart move.
Our money could easily be spent elsewhere.
I agree. Fact is, his next contract will be his best of the remaining in his career. I'm not sure what he's making now, but he better be prepared for $6M / year max territory. Anything more than that will be a cut friendly contract with little guarantee.
And no team is going to ignore that he's playing 75 to 80 percent of the games he's being paid. This guy gets hurt and those injuries are all below the waist.
