why would he sign now when he'll command more when his contract is up?Checks.
Cats have signed "drink spiking victim" Ecky Stengle and spud Jack Henry to 5 year deals.
Holmes didn't want to sign with Geelol past his free agency year and you don't have anyone else young enough and/or good enough to warrant a long term deal. No wonder you lose so many finals.
It's good management by both club and player
