I'm anxious to see if there's any hip injury language in it.
Perhaps all the competition to sign him forced us to assume that risk. Would anyone insure a contract like this?

Couldn't agree more. Didn't want to go three, but I'm happy with this deal. I'm ecstatic about his attitude about coming back.Bob Montgomery's Helmet Hat said:2/32 is terrific. Great job, Ben. And I love a guy who clearly wants to come back as much as Nap does.
