According to the Sun, Os and Nick are close on a 6 year extension. This would easily be the best move of the offseason.

This would be the 2nd richest contract in Os history. Not sure how to feel about that. It is certainly not a sign of fiscal responsibility on the part of the Os; does it indicate their complete irrelevance of the past 11 years? Just odd that a 4th year homegrown player would get that kind of money from us, I suppose. Not used to that sort of thing and all.
