It’s not the money - just surprised that he’s been targeted as someone we want to keep around.
I would suggest that it's more of a 'want first dibs upon' thing.
At that price, he is cuttable, and the 'Phins have not been afraid to hand out mild pay upgrades to guys who are going to start. Which, if you think, about it, is a sign to the entire team that they'll pay you fairly.
