I think max raises are 4% Y/oY. That means an extra 200K per year, so it comes up to something like 4/$21M.
My guess is we actually offer him another 1 year deal with a 2nd year PO so that we retain his full bird rights in 2014. In the alternative, I wouldn't be shocked if CAA and Dolan have already agreed in principal to give JR whatever the hell he wants under the CBA, whether it's 4 years or 1 year.
The tricky part will be whether another team comes in and offers him something significantly more than what the CBA allows us to offer. If that happens, you'd think he's gone.
