Galloway now says he'll probably test the market, but offer?

Unsure what to offer now. So I'll wait for word back...

Donaldson is still the same-
After the 2nd offer, he's pretty close to breaking off negotiations. So I'm gonna stop there too...

[DMBZeppelin]

Just offer Galloway the same stuff and see where it goes. At least I knew what he wanted.

Donaldson
Offer 1: $1.2 x 1
Offer 2: $1.5 x 1

Galloway wanted a longer contract for each one, and on the final one, he was slowly getting impatient.

Offer 2: $13.5 mil x 7
Offer 3: $14.32 mil x 7
Offer 4: $14.5 mil x 7
