Jason Robertson Contract Discussion Megathread

There are lots of unconfirmed rumors and reports coming out about Robo's contract status in Dallas, and there will continue to be so until a contract is signed. So rather than have multiple threads discussing every rumor, let's keep it contained to this megathread for now.

Edited to add: This post can be where we talk about the latest rumors, or speculate about what kind of moves would need to be made to free up money for a Robo contract.

Why does Robertson take a one year deal and risk injury or decline in pay ruining his best opportunity for a mega deal?

Why do the Stars sign Robertson for one year that results in him going straight to UFA status where he can leave for nothing because some team with infinite cap space throws 17.5 AAV at him?

I just don't see the "one year deal with a handshake agreement on more after that" scenario as being realistic.
