Expecting a big contract after missing an entire season is asking a lot.  I don't care who you are.  Come back next season ready to go, and continue discussions from there.

Exactly. We cant give a huge contract to someone based on what they did 4 yrs ago. I think AJ understands that since he mentions the business side of things, so no reason for him to be offended about it. He has had a great attitude over the years, but really hard to shell out large money based on kindness over performance and that’s the bottom line, performance. However, MB is loyal, so AJ will eventually get his money.
