That said, the contract language on spotrac says "in season extension".  It doesn't just say if we sign him to an extension.  Whether that stipulation is now satisfied or whether it means he has to hit free agency I don't know, but I think there is little risk at this point that we're giving up a 2nd for him.  If he has to hit free agency and we have to place a competitive bid and win him that way, I'm becoming more confident that it would only be the 3rd in that scenario.

If there is any way you can possibly get him back without giving up a 3rd it's a no brainer imo.  You give up the 2nd plus the contract it gets to be a much more tough decision.  Then you have to look at maybe trying to get Higgins or Evans, might have to cut Zay if we go that route.
