With it looking increasingly like Carey will not be here after this season - he wants way too much for way too long and won't budge an inch in either regard, in fact raising his demands during the negs - this is a key move for us.
Cobb is another interesting one for us. It is the last year of his contract next season, and it's an $8k player option. I wouldn't be surprised if he voids and chases some bigger FA money. Not sure at this point what my response to that would be, or whether I want to start talking about an extension just yet. Will play the waiting game and see how things look mid-season.
EDIT: couldn't help myself. had a look, his demands were more than reasonable, deal done...
