Warner -- Bernie Williams Analogy

[BLRIGHT]

I'm from the East Coast, and I have a theory. During the NY Yankees playoff run, Bernie Williams became a free agent and the Red Sox threw a lot of money at him.

He was basically ready to sign the deal, but he called George Steinbrenner right before and took just a little less from the Yankees and stayed.

I think that's exactly what's going to happen here. 49s will offer 3 years at $14 million with $16.5 million guaranteed.

Kurt comes back for 2 years, $25 million, $17 million guaranteed.

I don't think we'll be in suspense for long.

I'd be fine with that as long as all the guaranteed money is this season.

Ugh. I have a feeling that is also what he is doing.

I hope we don't fall for it.

Draw a line in the sand with the 10M and take it or leave it. I personally think 10M is generous.

I'd rather go with Leinart, a resigned Q and a resigned Dansby with the 10M we would have spent on Warner.
