You would be inclined to believe there are some pretty intense conversations taking place these days between his agent and Ballard. Agent pushing hard as hell to get a deal inked and Ballard slow walking wanting to ensure we don't see a Sam Donald shit the bed situation like what played out at the end in Minnesota last year.
If he stays healthy, plays reasonably well in the 2nd half of the season with these tough D's we will be playing, leads us to the PO's and plays well in the PO's, if all that plays out, I have no issue at all signing him to a monster long term deal.
