“I’m definitely blessed to have had the career I’ve had so far and be in a position financially where I’m in a good spot. So I wasn’t worried about hard negotiating or anything like that. At the end of the day I want to be here. I love the team and I wanted to do what I can do to help this team move forward and win. And I’ll leave it at that. All the other stuff, it is what it is and I made decisions for different reasons.”
