Quote:They're talking about it on 1010XL right now, and they're saying the extension is meaningless in almost every way except when the team is looking at free agents. Players may not be as willing to come here if they think the coaching situation could change, and having a coach in the final year of his contract would certainly be reason for second thought.


Agree or not, giving Bradley a 1 year extension doesn't prevent him from being fired if he doesn't deliver in 2016. Nothing has changed about that. If the team isn't competing for a playoff spot and the division next year, Gus is going to take the fall.

This.


Gus is a terrible coach. But this move helps in free agency to get talent...


Hey, it's not our money. Gus may not deserve the extra year of pay once he's fired, but I'm not gonna begrudge him the extra golden parachute of one year once he's kicked to the curb come January if 2017.


No reason to freak out about this. +1 FBT...
