Apparently they've upped the offer from the 1.1 million reported earlier:

Then he won't arrive in Dallas until late tomorrow at the earliest. If he is flying commercial, he won't leave until the afternoon and arrive Sunday morning.

Looks like June is shopping our contract. But it didn't read to me that they met with him -- that they were themselves meeting and trying to put something together.

Just my interpretation.

Oh, Fran, call your buddy the Keeper of the Star and tell him to put in the good word for you.

If he comes at all. I fully expect to wake up tomorrow to see JJ has come to terms with UH. Next

Not exactly. It's only 8:30 in the evening in Hawaii right now. He could be taking a late flight that lands tomorrow morning our time. There's nothing that says he's got to take a commercial flight either.

Also the theory that he could be stopping throught the OC to see his agent on the way. Probably a lot of red-eye's and early morning flights from Hawaii to LA.

You can always cancel a flight, commercial or otherwise.

Not really. The earliest flight I found was Hawaiian Air leaving at 8-ish in the morning. It arrives at LAX at 3:45. It's still 3 hours to Dallas. Most flights leave Hawaii in the afternoon. Sure, he could be flying a private jet, but it is still a long flight. If he is having dinner with UH boosters tonight, I can't imagine he'd hop an all-night flight into Dallas immediately after. If he did, he'd be in no condition to interview tomorrow then flight back to Hawaii on Sunday. That's a lot of air travel in a short time, and not much time on the ground.

Seems like June would either want to stay in Hawaii or go back to the NFL, but I would be so happy if we were able to make him an offer he can't refuse
