If they're truly digging in and demanding a max, he's going to play on the QO.
Our FO was very shrewd with Delly / Mo / Shump, who IMO all signed under market. While TT is important, there is just no way in hell we're paying him that kind of money. NONE. We just can't with KI's extension kicking in and Love resigning.
Griff is an INCREDIBLY talented GM. IMO it is more likely we find a S&T partner for TT than it is for us to pay him anywhere near $94 million. I have no doubt Griffin would ship out TT in a hot second if any team offered us even a comparable player on a cheaper contract.
It's time for ownership to just dig in, force him to sign the QO and deal with it next season. It's going to be really hard to replace him if he does indeed walk but the tax savings from this year alone make it worth the gamble to me. If you overpay NEXT season, it's a little easier to swallow because we'll have some more wiggle room financially.
