Did Blagojevich and Obama strike a deal?

I've been following the 2cd trial of Blagojevich right to the verdict yesterday and it dawned on me that although Blago may be guilty he never put up much of a fight. If I were facing the prison time that he is I would be fighting tooth and nail so it made wonder why wouldn't he? Then it came to me that there is a possibility that Obama told Blago to take one for the team and in exchange Obama would pardon him on his last day in office. If I'm Blago that's a pretty sweet deal because that means he walks in January 2013. Do you think Blago and Obama struck a deal?
