I guess I'm in the minority happy to have Sully back.
That's an oversimplification.  Most CB posters would not mind having Sully back at the right price.  The cutoff seems to be around $8-10M, but he might get more in the market at which point most people think DA should not match it.

Contract length is more important than dollar amount.

This. Price only important if it goes beyond the 1yr contract some of us want. But that it goes beyond one year (in guaranteed money) would pretty much be a deal breaker at this point I'd think. We'll see.

Length of contract, I predict, is the major reason Sully hasn't received a respectable multi-year offer from another team for the C's to match. 

The talent is there.  But why should any team commit even a mid-length contract to a player who can't commit to himself?  I guess I'd take Sully back on his QO, but I'd much rather not see him back in green.
