Correction... he said 1.8 - 4mil as comparable. Pyatt changed it to 3.5 - 4mil instead of 1.8 - 4mil. JP clearly stated earlier in the month that Raymond was looking for a 3 year deal between 2.5 - 3mil. Of course 2 makes more sense for us as it gives us time to work out another deal while Raymond is still a RFA with a clearing picture of what type of player he will be. Basically lower the risk and of course lower the reward since if he develops as expected, we will need to fork out more $$$ (e.g. Kesler).
