See now this is what I would not do...

Get in a back and forth over Lanning.

He would be a yes or no with me.

That's not how it works. There are contractual details that ned to be worked out. If you're hiring premium talent, they have options and a lot of them are usually tied to big dollars.

You also don't want to go into a relationship with your most high-value employee on a my way or the highway attitude, you need a collaborative working arrangement. This will be your first engagement to feel out what that looks like and if you come in and demand a yes or no, that's a quick way to poison the well.
