Speaking exclusively to Football Insider about the Wissa deal, Borson said: “I think he had one-plus-one, so I think he had two years left on his contract.
I think it’s an amazing price to pay.
“I would think playing poker with Matthew Benham is not a great exercise.
You’re probably going to lose, and I think they did lose.
I think it’s a crazy deal.
“I think it’s a very surprising deal, but you can understand the circumstances of it.”
