This is excellent news. My favorite quote is this one:
“We’re a lot closer. We have closed the gap,” said Evans, who’s entering the final year of his contract. “Hopefully, we can get it done sooner than later. But I’m not really worried.”
This basically states that the two sides are on the same page in terms of the amount of money, which is the biggest hurdle. Now all they have to do is work out all the little details and fine print, which I can't really see tripping up the process. It's only a matter of days now. Perhaps before Sunday's game? If I was Lee, I would want to get this done ASAP. All its going to take is one freak injury and it will be taken off the table.
