"Him" being Jordy. With Cobb there well could be savings because he's never been the best on his own team. He's shown enough to give everyone a boner but hasn't even had a 1,000 yard season yet. Because we already know exactly what Jordy is I feel his deal is less urgent. I don't really see him as a FA flight risk. Also a lot can change in a year so there is value in deferring the decision. We may not need to evaluate Jordy to pay him but he's not been immune to injury so why raise the stakes earlier than we need to?
