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.

No you aren’t giving up an extra 3-4 million this year. You are giving up 16 million for one year since he is currently not under contract. That is 16 million less that we cannot roll over to next year. 

I’d be pissed as a fan if we paid him 16 million for 850 yards and 6 td and end up losing yannick or jack because we don’t have enough cap to roll over to next year. 

We will seen soon enough what level he can play at wether it’s with us or another team. I really don’t want to make it sound like I think he will suck. I don’t. I actually hope he gets back to it I just don’t see how you pay him that much based on what he’s done and injury history. 

I get his potential is through the roof but his resume is not. That is what I base my opinion off of but we all know what they say about opinions lol. 

Fabulous conversation by the way guys
