I think what Booze said could very well be the issue, but still, I don't see him as this guy we absolutely have to sign and bring back.
I guess the good news is that his lessened impact should bring his asking price down, so if we can get him at say 3 years at 2 to 3 million a year, I'd do that and hope that all he needs is a full offseason of football under his belt.
If he wants more, he can walk. The way Hitchens has played combined with Carter's solid play of late allows us to look over all of our options at that position and not just put all of our eggs in the McClain basket.
