It was a short term deal he didn't like.
They probably offered a 3-4 year deal with a 2 year out and he didn't like it. (maybe 4 year 80-90 mil but a 2 year out making his real gtd like 40-45---im super guessing)
If they come back with the similar style deal I doubt he likes it. But I don't know why they wouldn't wanna lock him up longer. 5 year 100 mil 50 gtd (with a 3 year out) seems fair to me.

But what do I know lol

It's the guaranteed money. It doesn't matter how many years it is. He wants more guarantees, but 100 with only 50 doesn't matter, it's still only 50 because they can cut him.

Well based on recent contracts... I'm not sure anything north of 55 mil gtd is fair to the team. 

We never heard the numbers so maybe they lowballed his gtd money. If so, shame on them, but upwards of 60 mil gtd seems a bit much considering what Frank Clark and Lawerence are getting. He might be in the convo with those guys, but he isn't clearly better than them, imo.
