First, another outstanding post, Rock.
Just want to add a comment about MP.
Unlike Talib and Suh, MP is not a 1-2 year rental. He knows that he has a future here, or somewhere, in the form of a big juicy second contract IF he can continue to play at a high level AND keep his nose clean.
His coaches and his agent surely have pressed that point with him already, and will no doubt do so again, if necessary. IOW, he has probably 85 million reasons over 5 years to stay within the team guidelines.
I don’t expect a choirboy, necessarily, but I definitely don’t expect a loose cannon, either.
