Whether Jared Dudley returns to Washington next season is uncertain, but the 30-year-old recently said that he wants to, telling that he will seek a three-year contract this summer.
Before getting traded to Washington, Dudley exercised a player option on his contract that paid him $4.25 million knowing that back surgery was likely.
With new television money set to inundate the market this summer, Dudley figures to get a raise after one of his better seasons.
