    If you were a GM, what contract would you offer Stephen Drew?

    This sprung up in a chatbox conversation about qualifying offers. I argued that Stephen Drew was foolish not to accept his 1/14 offer, since he sucks and he'll never get an average salary close to that in the open market.

    So pretend for a moment, that you are a GM, and Stephen Drew is a free agent, with NO DRAFT PICK COMPENSATION ATTACHED. What deal do you offer him? How much do you think he is worth?

    I would offer him 2/16 at the most. He blows. 2nd division SS at best.

    Not even a question, he isn't worth that much money. Should've taken it and run as fast as he could.

    2 years, 12 million would probably be my top offer. Not even sure I would even give him the second year.

      First, he's dumb for passing on one year, $14 million. I realize one year deals are bad for a player in most situations, but I'd take that deal in a heartbeat.

      That said, all I would offer him was a one year deal worth between $7-8 million, with a second year mutual option for the same. He's also going to be 31 before the season starts, so no way could I justify giving him more than two years at this point.

        2 for 12M or 3 for 16M

        I will put in some incentives as well. Play well...we pay you more.

          He stinks, and $14 is far more than he's worth. Should have taken the QO. I would offer him 2/10, take it or leave it.

          Fuck the Drews.

            What the fuck kind of thread is this? What kind of contract would you offer? Who the fuck cares?

            I'd offer him 12 cents over 8 years.
