«As far as numbers-wise, it?s between my agent and the organization,»

«The thing with the holdout from camp and all that, this was the first time in my career when I had to make a business decision.

I didn?t want it to get personal, because I want to be here. I?m excited. My whole family is excited. I called my mom last night to tell her the news, and she broke down crying. She told me, who ever would?ve thought a kid from Forest Park, Ga., would get the opportunity to make the money, to stay with one organization throughout my career. I look good in black-and-gold.»
