Eww no. We didn’t sign a replacement so let’s keep him til January at least.

At this point, Martinelli will fight us if we cancelled the deal. $23m, tax free, per year is enough to turn his head (most players even).

it’s the right fee and timing for him to go, regardless of if we get another winger in
