Do you really think Houston didn't know Roger was coming back?
If they had any doubt they would have signed someone else.
I am sure Roger told them- hey I need some time off, will be back in July. I want $22M. They said ok.
Then Roger gets the free publicity of 5 other teams coming to "try to sign him"
This is like Britney Spears getting married. Free publicity for him and his sponsors. Doesn't hurt to get his sons name in the paper a few hundred times either...
