TUTx88, My two cents, DP is not top 3-5. If he were, Jerry may have paid up already. I have a feeling Jerry is NOT TOTALLY SOLD ON DP, despite all the talk we hear.

Also, J may still be a little PO about the "imminent deal" he thought he had at the beginning of last year, before DP pulled the rug out from under him. Say what you want about J, but he pays his player, even overpays them. But in this case there may be some left over animosity in play. I mean how many times do you have to offer and gets refused before some friction heats up. And after all, no one is irreplaceable.
