Still since they have been on Dowuona, Bates and also this kid Carter a long time.....given they offered Dowuona and Bates first it tells me they like them better....competition is heating up for Dow and Bates so they extend another offer to Carter.
Like other said above....that might indicate CMP is not close to landing Dow or Bates?? Not saying this guy is not a great player, just saying that staff have been on all three bigs for sometime, and the fact that they waited to offer Carter shows me the staff prefers the other two.....but they are not going to wait around if Carter wants to be a Boiler as he is not that much of a drop off.
