I cannot believe the disrespect this place is giving him. He is in the middle of a hall of fame career.

He's not really in the middle anymore. I love TG. But at 3-4 years, we have him for 1 year, which means he signs with 2-3 years left of his career. At the same time, we will probably lose Shields and Roaf (provided Shields is even back in 06). Green has 2-3 years tops. Tony's next contract will probably be expensive. He knows it will be his last payday and he will push for as much as he can get. Once these veterans are gone, we're going to need every bit of the cap we can get for their replacements as well as what it will cost us to re-up LJ and any other stars we may have.

As much as I want TG around, $ will be crucial and we may not be able to afford to keep expensive old guys around.
