Instead the FO tried to have it’s cake and eat it too. Sure Butler said all the right things at first but i hope the FO learned it’s lesson to think forward a bit more. All good we move into a new era.
You don't think it's reasonable for a team to expect a player to at least play out their contract? Even if we jumped on this in the offseason I don't think the return was going to be much better than what we got, the best case scenario for both parties probably would have been Jimmy busting his ass to prove himself because Riles has proven to overpay guys when they perform (Hassan, T.J., Dion etc).
