This is my one and only issue with what Scully is doing
I respect his right to put off talks to the end of the year, I respect his right to look at offers from GWS, I believe IF he decides to go to GWS that decision will be made after the season is over (gut feel is he will stay).
However, the knock on effect this causes is a potential issue
If we don't know if he's staying, we don't know if we have that reported $600k to play with. This delays finalising contract negotiations with other players, i.e. Sylvia
We may be happy to pay Sylvia $600k p.a. without scully, but only $350k p.a. with Scully
Sylvia may want to deal now, but he's not happy with what's being put out to him and may not take an assurance "there may be more if tom goes" type situation. He could decide he wants to be traded - effectively meaning we lose Sylvia AND potentially Scully
This is the one Issue I have with it being dragged out
