Kelly will get at least $800kTim kelly is worth 700 to 900k. Billings is not its that simple. kelly is a bonafide superstar. If you think billings is worth more than 600k then were in more **** than we know.
You pay a bit more to keep Billings happy. Have to weigh up if saving a few $$$ is better than the alternative if we lose him.
Easy to get rid of him but you also have to look at what you get in return. Might be better to pay him some more in the long run. He's coming into his prime and whilst he may not be as versatile as Kelly, hecis still a very good player.
But as you say, if he wants too much then you pull the trigger.
