Okay, here's the deal. 

 

Hurns has 2 years left at a minimal salary.  Let's just say for argument's sake his current salary is $500,000.   Then let's say he deserves the kind of money other WRs are getting: maybe $8 million per season.   So we give him a 4 year extension.   That would lock him up for the next 6 years.   

 

4 years at $8 million = $32 million.    Add the approximately $1 million he's due to make over the next 2 years.   $33 million.   Divide the $33 million by 6 years.   That's just over $5 million per year.   Make a big chunk of it into a signing bonus.   

 

Give him a $9 million signing bonus, and pay out the remaining $24 million over the next 6 years at aprox $4 million per year. 

 

So, he can either stay at minimal salary for the next 2 years, or he can put $9 million in his pocket right now, plus $4 million per year for the next 6 years.

 

That's a $33 million contract for an undrafted free agent WR.   He'll take it.

He's actually an RFA in 2017, but I agree on the concept of offering him a deal of that ^ sort now -  and I'm sure the Jags will start negotiation at an even lower number.

If you jump to soon he may not produce the same again and you won't take the money back or trade him cause then he may produce with the other team. He is a good+ player and we need him to do it again without the money. The D will be on him next year and he will need to work. He will need help from teammates.
