But in this case, Townie is right, isn't he?
Specifically, you have never talked to an agent about buyout negotiations or any other discussion with a lawyer/agent about buyout specifics. Perhaps I am wrong, but we are all just spitballing here. I'm assuming you are too. I think your prior spitball (Danny ain't getting anything more than $12mil) is some un-great spit-balling. I know that if you owed ME $15 million over 5 years and offered me $12 today, I would laugh you out the door. I'd probably accept $14 mil though - just to be rid of you.
Remember what happens when you ASSUME...well that is happening to you here.
