leave her alone...she can't say anything.
The market is ripe for players to go into FA to prove their point.
Teams have cash and are going to spend it. Signing today would cost him several hundreds of thousands of dollars.
In this business, you squeeze out every dollar you can.
I would expect as the team that last held a contrat to at least be given a chance to beat a deal by a dollar. If not, he didn't want to be be here and it is probably best for us he goes.
It's nothing personal....it is just business.

Heard Savage on the radio this morning and he said that they are going to work on a contract all the way up till midnight tonight.
They are trying to resign him. The best contract they are going to offer him prior to free agency will come at 11:55 pm.

Another thing that isn't being thought of is the fact that us "Message Board GM's" could be driving his cost up. We all know his wife reads the boards and even contributed prior to the contract negotiations. I mean no disrespect in anyway with this, I am personally thankful for the job he did last year, but maybe we are overhyping him and it may be helping to inflate his self worth beyond reality and beyond what the team feels his actual play and skill level is worth. We do have a need for a center and he has a need for a new contract. Fair is fair and right is right. If he wants way more than he's really worth then as much as I hate to say it, let him walk.

While I know for a fact the FO people check the boards from time to time, you can rest easier knowing that we have absolutely zero influence on his value, either real or perceived 
If he does have an overinflated sense of self-value, reality will smack him right back to us with pen in-hand.

You make the best offer you feel that you can offer. If it is outbid by another...so be it. There are many additions and subtractions to come before we suit up next Sept. and I'm betting on Savage's plan rather than Hank's agent's wish list.
There is a great chance we may have plenty of good news by Sunday AM...let us hope for the best with Hank but remember one piece of the puzzle is...just one piece of the puzzle.

Good one!
What I was saying is we are pimping him like he is the second coming and that he is irreplaceable. There are several posts saying to basically pay him whatever he wants because we have no other choice.
His wife is reading this and telling him the public opinion of the situation. Hell maybe he is even reading this himself.
Either way when you feel like you hold all the cards you become a hard person to deal with.
More food for thought. Prisco just posted a top 50 free agent article and Fraley didn't make the list.
O'Hara is no. 20
Coleman is no. 44
Not everyone sees Fraley in the same Orange glasses.

Roaddawg, I wasnt really cutting on you for what you said, it was just when i read that an absurd image popped into my head about the board and the front office. We have been known to poke fun at "what things would be like if" the BOARD has their say. In all fairness Hank has been the best center we have had since 99 O'hara included though I cant remember if O'hara played guard when he was with us and Dave Wollabaugh was the center. The past O-lineman are rather forgettable which is why most of us want Fraley back. He played well for us this year. That is what counts.

This made my day.
Congratulations.

hank is resigned and tony grossi is a fool...makes my day
That is awsome Danielle. I can not wait to see how well Charlie will do having Hank in there from off-season to end of season. That has got to be a relief for Hank (and you ) as well, knowing who his team and QB is going to be before the season starts.
"Alright Hank, Charlie, enough waitin around. Get Practicin'!!"
Hears to hoping Dorsey is the Browns Ozzie Newsome.
