I don’t want to over pay for a player who is coming off a major injury, didn’t contribute to the teams success and we don’t even know if he can produce at a high level consistently. Yes he made the pro bowl (after Calvin Johnson retired) but we only saw that one time and that was two years ago. And the was pre injury (I’m starting to say the same things again).

I don’t want us over paying for that and jeopardize signing the guys who actually contributed to the teams success.

A decent number to be would be some where in the 7-9 million area. 12 if he meets incentives. Im also basing this on the fact he missed 6 games in 2015 and torn his ACL in 2017.  But I’m not a cap guy so this me just looking at other contracts and comparing them.

But why would he take a incentive deal when a team like the jets or bears would be willing make him one of the highest paid? We saw the giants pay Vernon and he never broke 10 sacks a season.

All reasonable takes which really comes down to whether you think Arob can be a pro bowl caliber receiver again I guess. I do. Others like yourself may not.  

Yeah I'd rather sign Arob and let Lee+Colvin go.  

For year 1? I agree the first year would likely be incentive based from the teams side but more like 10 baseline with 12-15 with incentives. 

Big thing to consider as well is we always have easy outs in all our contracts and that paired with an incentive based year 1 may put him off regardless of the paper money.
