Yeah... but a 14 mil per year contract, assuming he has a hit of $14 mil in one year, is 8% of the 2018 Cap. That's a lot of Cap space tied up into one position that requires several players to fill the spot. On top of the man coming off an ACL tear. 

I agree that someone is going to throw a ton of money at him, and good on him if he gets it. But I also understand why it's not financially responsible to do so.

Was saying a few days ago that I think the crux of negotiations would be about that first year. Jags likely want it loaded with incentives followed by an out in year 2/3 as is standard for us.  

On Arobs side he's thinking, why should I take incentives , less security and likely less money than what the open market gives me?
