What we see happening is exactly what he said was going to happen. It kind of puts you in a hard position to then have any kind of deniability. You can try to blame other people if he wants, but it's a little bit of a stretch in credibility in light of what he said before he got here.

I think everybody knows that we have this Monday deadline that I think helps a little bit. But we have been working diligently in the last week to try to get something done. And we have tried to approach this since last summer. And there was a very strong drive on both sides to compromise and to be as reasonable as we could to try to get it done. He (Westbrook) clearly wanted to be here. We clearly wanted him to be here. The system is perfect for him and he is perfect for the system. So in the end we were able to get it done.

We would not have felt that negotiations had reached a roadblock. We were certainly at a point where we had a gap in his expectations and our comfort level. Whether or not we would have been able to close that gap, I'm not sure. But we felt we were in productive contract negotiations.

There was a need to reinforce that we needed to stay aggressive. We were aggressive in the Terrell Owens thing, and you don't want that to slow you down when the next situation shows up. Our belief is that teams that have significant success are those that aren't afraid of making mistakes or taking chances.

Brian is a valuable and important part of the team. We've made it clear we want him here, and he's also made it clear he wants to stay. Hopefully, at the right time, we can get a deal done with him.
