I did not list that option because it would not be better from the
team's standpoint than giving him the extension they did. How would
the extension have been a mistake if the team would end up paying
him more money for more years otherwise?
It is a gamble on the market value from before the season. Now we can
figure he would have got a max offer.
Yes. My basic premise is that I disagree that signing him to the extension was a mistake, since it limited the team's liability to him as long as they wanted to keep him. The only reason that it would have been a mistake from the team's standpoint would be if, based on his injury history, they wanted to let him go at the end of the season.
Boz is not arguing that they should not have re-signed him from the history. He is arguing that this year they they had the option not to gamble.
But a lot can go wrong in restricted free agency. I do not think it was a mistake to give him the extension either. I do not think it would have necessarily been a mistake to allow him to be a RFA. It is a trade off on risk/benefit not a right or wrong choice with out a crystal ball
