If teams try to leverage a probable "cut" and wait for him to be on the free market, we can still keep him. Try putting a fire under his butt to perform better. Then next year we can trade him, or keep him for only 250K (if he bratts out in the middle of the year, say) and in two years we could even franchise him, so his ass is still ours and he's wasting precious years to make a name for himself. So we have all the power for trade negotiations THIS YEAR!
I think the grievance was just for leverage, not for money.

Agree. Cap may be a problem down the road. Right now it's like unused vacation time. Use it or lose it.
