I haven't seen an actual source for this and it sounds like CYA. Hard to believe Clark would have an issue with $150K buyout if it was a guy they really wanted.

Actually that sounds like EXACTLY what happened.

he has a 150k per year left buyout.

the reports were they were trying to NEGOTIATE a buyout which wouldnt need done if they were will to pay 150K.

then he wasnt leaving.

now he is...
