Pitt might decline that. But id be lying if I said it wasnt close. If you make that a 2nd, and or keep it as a 1st and add say a third going back, they'd accept. I just think Meyers isn't as valuable as you think, despite the 1.5 retained. Other option is, retain even more, and they'd accept.

Six Million for Josh Manson? Crap me that's a lot.

Yup it is! I assume he'll like be offered a 4 yr deal some where like Larsson or Tanev's deal. Overpaying him keeps the flexibility in the Petey and Pod FA year and avoids too much term with Manson as well
