The ever changing market determines "what he's worth" not some line in the sand drawn by fans at an arbitrary number like 17 mil per year. 

I'd rather be the club paying Yan 3 mil more than fans want to pay him than the club short a stud pass rusher we drafted and developed. 

We already HAVE good draft capital and we have the means to pay Yan too. This is a no-brainer for me. 
Pay the man what the market bears and lay the incentives on thick. He's a guy that bets on himself.

imo He's worth what Frank Clark signed last year.  That should be the blueprint.  Very similar production as a 4-3 DE.

If he's asking for Khalil Mack and Aaron Donald APY money/Guaranteed money, then no way.  I'll take the 1st+2nd round pick and $20M+ in extra cap space.
