No matter how anyone tries to spin it, Yan felt disrespected by what the team offered him last year. None of us officially know but the consistent number we've all heard was $19 million a year. He decided to gamble on himself by refusing the offer and playing out his final year and entering free agency. (that is perfectly fine) The moment the last seconds ticked off the clock he started being cryptic about being done with Jacksonville. Just before free agency he announces (for no real reason) that he "will not sign a long term deal with Jacksonville". Obviously the team franchize tags him at just over $17mil. I must add that I've never heard anyone in the organization say one bad word about him. Fast forward to free agency and so far, no pass rusher has signed for more than 17 a year. So in the end, the original offer was more than fair. I love the guys work ethic, tenacity and what was a humble demeano. Where we're at currently is all based on his decisions. In my opinion he would only make bad decisions worse by not playing and playing hard on the tag.
