Nobody wanted to give him a big money long term deal? Inconceivable.

Does this mean that we can't redo his deal, i.e. can he sign something like a 4/$32m deal with us before the FA period starts?

I have no problem with EG weighing his options, but his acting like he's staying with us because he's all in on the Pels is laughable.

You can't reconstruct contracts like in football.

Yes, it's over. You can renegotiate a deal after year 3 only if you're under the cap. So being over the cap, opting out and resigning him was the only way.

Apparently, there is literally nothing Gordon can do that would keep some people from criticizing him. Personally, I think the guy is psyched about Gentry coaching the team.

$15.5 = 23% of a $67 million cap. not disagreeing with your point, just clarifying.

Yeah, I can't believe Gordon had the nerve to take that much money when offered. And then, on top of it all, he intentionally injures himself. What an a-hole.
