If Dunlap would've turned down that contract like Michael Johnson, they both would not have been in stripes the following season.
Oh it was likely one of the other. They likely offered them both the same deal...and saw which one would take it.
They also bring in 2-3 free agents at the same position and see who will sign for less. Totally disregarding fit.
Like a few years ago when they brought in Dansby and Harrison. (Dansby was the better fit at the time...but wanted more.)
Robinson, Minter, and Barwin are in the same boat.
