That is the conclusion I came to a couple of weeks ago. Even if he were to sign for the first game, he wouldn't really be available until week 3-4. Given that, we will in effect be paying 12 million for him. Ask yourself, is there anyway on Gods green earth Dunta is worth that? Also factor in the negatives of the hold out and a very likely negative person in the locker room. I could very easily see him doing his best to do everything he could to undermine what any of the coaches are trying to do. He is pissed (right or wrong about it) he didn't get to go to FA or get the mega contract and isn't to be trusted to be a team player at this point. IMO, if he hasn't signed by at least 2 weeks before the start of the season, pull the offer, put the money saved to use and get DeMeco signed and pick up a could of depth guys.
