FBB Agent: Thank you for the generous offer. We've hardly even unpacked our bags in Utah, and would prefer to wait and see with a new team rather than lock ourselves into a long-term extension immediately. We have the ability to take this into the season, and also have no issue taking it into the off-season as well if we have to. We're hoping for a great season.

Verdict: OFFER DECLINED
