Wonder what the hold up is for Bratt, we pretty much know what market value is, he’s part of the long term plans so term shouldn’t be a problem. Maybe it’s coming down to signing bonus dollars, a NTC or NMC?

I can’t imagine a Bratt deal being for less than 6 years or less than $6.5 million or so.

Yeah could be any of that, and could also be Bratt(or his agent) not wanting to sign long term. The expectation is the cap will be rising a substantial amount in 3-4 years so there could be a possibility he wants a shorter term deal to bet on himself and cash out big time right after the cap increases.

Either way, i assume a deal gets done before it gets in front of an arbiter, like most of these situations.

Also, could be something in which they might flip Bratt's contract for another RFA in a package deal so they might have something there in principle and Bratt's side is using this to speed up the process.
