I assume they qualified him because they still had his RFA rights, but then why did he sign for less? Why didn't he just accept the qualifying offer? Does the player have to accept the qualifying offer right away or it's off the table?
Anyway, I thought he showed a lot of promise in his rookie season, but he seems to have fallen off since then. I don't think returning to Pittsburgh is the best thing for him. Maybe they'll trade him and give him a chance somewhere else.
