I think the other important ‘learning’ from this is the offer was sub-$40mm and essentially two years. Some national commentators have said 3 years gets this done. I mentioned this weekend how much taking even Luka money ($40mm instead of $47mm) would help this team manage its Apron exposure.
It sounds like 3 years with a starting number of $40mm might get this done. That could prove to be quite helpful this summer.
