He leaves some money on the table like McCutcheon did.

Okay, I still have $100 million or $130 million in my hip.

Sure.

And now I can go out and sign for 10 years and make a billion dollars or $500 million or whatever it is.

No doubt.

$100 million of these.

What would you think would be a fair deal for both sides?

We're talking about Connor Griffin.

I'm saying, yeah.

I mean, again, if you do the math and add what he would make in his first six years, and then you add your seven and eight and take 150 minus what he would make in those first six years, it's crazy.

Who cares?

They're getting an unbelievable bargain.

Yeah, but they're getting him.

Well, that's the way the system works.

I understand that.

They would probably trade him before the end of the eighth year because it would be the same thing.

Better than trading him before the sixth.

Listen, we've been in Pittsburgh for a long, long time.

We know there's no chance they're giving anyone $50 million a year on the back end.

He didn't go through anything.
