Apparently we offered Whit 11 million. He chased the money.
Hard to compete with Cleveland when they are flushing 16 mil down the toilet to get a 2nd round pick next year. Making Zeitler the highest paid G in the league is a cleveland type move.
With Hobson bullshitting us about them having 2-3 mil left to spend they have to be setting aside a big chunk for extensions.
Does it go to Burfict and Eifert? Or are they getting ready to hand extensions to Clarke Hill and Bodine?
Ideally we get Eifert and Burfict locked up with fair deals and go in to next year with a new head coach and no big time free agents who would get us comp picks so we actually get involved in free agency.
