I think instead of saying, "I would give him this..." everyone should say, "I would offer him this..." and then lay out what happens when he turns it down.

I also think we should keep in mind, even if we sign him to the, for example, 3rd highest contract in the league, in a year or two it will have moved way down the list, because new contracts are being signed all the time, and salaries are going up.  For example, remember when everyone was talking about Christian Kirk's contract?  There are now 14 WRs who are paid more than he is.
