I think this is good news.
Obviously Frank and DLC feel as though he is not worth what he is asking and that we have enough tallent to win games without him. Or he has the baggage that was mentioned earlier and they feel he is just not worth the headache.
The worst case would be if the FO did not want the guy, but felt like they HAD to have him.
So for me, I am happy to see the FO pass on him if that really is the case.

You're nuts. Frank really wanted John, maybe we can't give John what he wants but that doesn't mean not giving it to him and not having him is any way, shape, or form a "good" thing. Without a guy like John we will have trouble scoring. Remember the guy that put us through against NE? His name was Blanco, and he is gone. We need a scorer and John was a guy that could have potentially dominated this league. Like Liam says, I hope this is a tactic and we manage to land him.
