Shaquille O'Neal, ... has signed a five-year, $100-million contract extension with the Miami Heat. ...Actually, they offered him $200 million if he would practice his free throws, but he said no.

I just signed another three-year contract,

I didn't get drafted my senior year, ... I got offered a contract by the Brewers for $1,500 from Sal Bando. I decided to go to college instead, and it worked out pretty well.

Boa signed the new contract just before he went away for the international break. Boa has been here five years already and he wanted to sign for five more years,

The offer was on the table. We offered him $25 million over five years, and they were going to think about it and give us an answer. They decided not to accept their offer. I was really surprised that he didn't take the opportunity to secure his future and to accept what I felt was a very fair offer. That just proved to Roberto and our fans how much we value him. We wanted to try and keep him a Panther for many years.

So that the record is put straight I have signed a two-year contract with Sydney but also behind the scenes I have been told that I can go.
