What if Randall's ask is above what you were willing to pay in Message #21?
Is that waiting?
Thompson has signed a bunch of guys prior to their FA market. But if they can't agree, then the player is going to wait for the market to act.
I suspect that if Cobb could be had for between 7 an 8 million annually, it would be a done deal. The question likely is how close (or over) he will be to Jordy.
