I say this cause Ben Johnson got 13 mill a year.
Liam Coen cried and said i want that money too khan.
Payton got 18 million a yr plus trade compensation 2 years ago.
McCarthy has a very justified reason to say hey mickey, i'm at least worth Payton money compared to these unproven puppies demanding 13 + million.
Mickey does have a job to win but also spend Mrs. B's money wisely.
Neither are known as being cheap in any way.
But McCarthy demanding X amount per year and you have a Joe Brady/Mike Kafka/Kellen Moore at say 10 mill per year... could that be an enticing factor to "go young". Will Mike's justified "greed" kill a deal?
