You guys realize what a complete and total freak out would have occurred on this board if Hendry had given the EXACT same contract to Cameron, right? People would be screaming from the rafters about how no one in their right mind would give a 37 year old a 2 year contract, and how almost 8 million a year is 3 million more than anyone else would have given him. Then I would have asked how you guys have any idea what other teams offered him, and 4 of you would have accused me of blowing Hendry.

Except Hendry would have given him a backloaded 3/30 with a full no-trade clause.
