Maccagnan has hinted that he's been willing to increase an offer that reportedly hovers in the annual salary range of $7 million to $8 million. What he's not willing to do is move anywhere near the neighborhood that Fitzpatrick wants to live in, which is about twice that amount. As Maccagnan told reporters on a conference call last week, "We like Ryan -- we'd like to have Ryan back -- but at the end of the day, it's free agency. You go through it. At some point in time, hopefully, we can find a middle ground we're both happy with."
