It would've been a massive risk throwing him a guaranteed 55mil for 4 years. Of course that would've been the best move in hindsight but it doesn't matter much.
I said it wasn't a no brainer, but if you go back and look at this board at the time, there were plenty of folks that thought we should offer the full extension (and some that thought he was not worth half that). Its the job of this FO to know their own players and make these assessments correctly. If half this board could see that he was going to be worth it (I was on the fence) then the FO should have seen it too.
