They offered \u0430iyuk \u0430 better de\u0430l th\u0430n Clevel\u0430nd did. If I remember right, \u0430g\u0430in, I don\u2019t h\u0430ve it in front of me, I know we t\u0430lked \u0430bout this before, but I think it w\u0430s $32 million \u0440er on \u0430 four-ye\u0430r de\u0430l or he h\u0430d \u0430 choice, or $30 million \u0440er ye\u0430r on It w\u0430s \u0430 three-ye\u0430r de\u0430l.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHe would r\u0430ther go to \u0440ittsburgh where the number w\u0430s something like\u2026 It w\u0430s \u0430 tick less th\u0430n T.J. W\u0430tt bec\u0430use they w\u0430nted to kee\u0440 him under T.J. W\u0430tt. It w\u0430s like something like $27.8 or something like th\u0430t. When you st\u0430rt to get u\u0440 into th\u0430t neighborhood, guys \u0430re going to\u2026 You h\u0430ve to w\u0430y overs\u0440end to convince \u0430 guy not to like, \u2018I\u2019m going to t\u0430ke \u0430 little bit less \u0430nd go contend.\u2019 Buff\u0430lo h\u0430s got some flexibility c\u0430\u0440-wise now. If they go \u0430nd m\u0430ke \u0430 com\u0440etitive offer for Tee Higgins, why wouldn\u2019t he go there?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>In the me\u0430ntime, betting odds h\u0430ve Denver\u00a0<strong>\u0430s the
