The way she tried to low ball Smith's agent even though he was essentially slotted by the player's contracts drafted before and after him gives me little hope things will change.

Katie was also the driving factor in Marvin's return after the 2010 season. Mike and Marvin had both walked away from the table. It was Katie that stepped in and got the deal done, and I think she continues to be a big reason- along with Mike's natural reluctance to make changes - that Marvin keeps getting extensions. Marvin has been 'her guy' since day 1.
