I think Parsons will not be around after this contract ....

Price doesn't concern me as much as timing -- does he opt out this summer, or does he wait until 2017 to get a new contract? I mean, his player option is basically in the same ballpark as what he wants to get paid anyway... So does he wait until the cap goes nuclear in 2017 ($108m!), possibly earning an even bigger contract, or does he cash in now so he doesn't risk losing his payday to a catastrophic injury next season?

Safe money or big(ger) money?
