When he was talking hometown discount, I didn't think he was talking the kind of numbers he was talking.
“Pete and John asked me that when I met with them today. If it came to that, I would definitely come back. $3, $4 million? $3, $4, $5 million? I would definitely come back because I’m established here."

If I'm JS & PC, I respond to the top here here at 5 million per year on a 5 year deal, get him excited about being in Seattle and get him to forfeit any idea of entertaining offers from other teams in free agency. Throw some incentives in, so he could make 6-7 million a year if he's performing above expectations. We expected to be competing with offers of around 7-9 million a year, but if he's willing to stay at that kind of discount... I think you have to pull the trigger on him and keep him in Seattle.
