Yeah, but are they willing to drop that money on him in a bad market. The face value of tickets may not be effected. But you have to figure that jersey sales, food sales, and advertising money is going to decrease. So it's a risk.

And the reason they have cap space, is because they've been relatively frugal in spending money. It would take a business model shift for them to drop $15 mill a year on something considered to be high risk. Which he is.

Dan is gambler, and is not afraid of high risk items, if he can envision a payoff, or playoff, if you will.
