"But you try and find the right match together, the right math. And this was a tricky year with the salary cap going down, and we have other key players to re-sign; but I think both sides worked out a deal that was good and fair to both sides. I have long-term security, and the team still has options and flexibility with the rest of our roster. The whole tone was 'We have a winning atmosphere here and we want Ryan to be a part of it', and I was totally on board with that."
To me that sounds like a guy who knows he is worth more than he ended up getting but took slightly less because he wants to be here and wants to see a winning team built around him. The league could use a few more guys like that. Hopefully Hank has a similar attitude going into his negotiations.
Well done Ryan. Don't be surprised if he ends up getting Richards' A after next year
