Is there any indication how much either team is willing to offer BBD?

I still think someone is going to overpay for BBD.  If we can get him back for $4 million/year or less, I'd be happy.  Anything more, let him walk.

No one is going to overpay BBD in this market, and that includes Memphis, a team that is hemmoraging money, and Detroit, where half the fan base is unemployed and can't afford to buy tickets.

I predict he will get offers in the 2.5 million range.
These rumors of "full MLE" contract are probably coming from his agent.

I do think he could easily get offered a deal that the C's will find to pricey to match though. My hope is we can get him for a long term deal with a starting salary around 3 million. The highest I would go is Perk size money, 4 years at 4 million per.
