The word is (FWIW ?), that OD could have got paid in recent months to the tune of 'bout 15 M guaranteed money but he passed on that because he was holding out for the kind of money other TEs like Winslow at TB were collecting ? Anyway, he's a big boy and he's blown out knees before so he knew such things do happen, knew the risks. In addition he and his agent knew we were entering the upcoming offseason with additional uncertainty because we may not get a new contract between owners & player-union ?
I don't think the Dressen/Casey combo will fully repalce OD Day 1, but in time I think we could be back very close to where we were with OD.
