Taking everything in consideration (past performance and injury) Is it a 16 million dollar improvement?  There’s a huge difference between value and worth and I believe that’s where the disconnect is.

For a comparisons sake, Calais is getting paid 15-16 million per year. Will Arob’s impact on the team this year be the same as Calais was this past year?

I feel he would make that big of an impact for us. Him being on the field makes the running game better and Westbrook and Cole better. Yes he wasnt fantastc in 16 but in his 2 games with Marrone as coach he was back to his old self because they used him right.

At the end of the day I think he  worth it and will most likely get paid 13 to 14 mil a year and hes well worth that.

IMO you’re paying an extra 3-4 million this year to give yourself that security that he will be on your team in case he fulfill his potential.
