You come to an agreement that pleases him for the time being, but, you make it clear to him that with that cost comes a heavier burden that will not enable them to be overly picky and choosey down the road when free agency opens up.

To be blunt, it's hard to compile a good football team with 21 starters if the QB is being paid 50% of the team's salary cap. If he wants to be rich and be a loser on the football field? Knock yourself out. 

I would just recap how awful it's been this year with no protection and no running game and he can decide what his legacy will be best remembered as here in Jacksonville.

50% of the team's salary cap would be 112 million dollars a year!  It's not going to be 50%!

What agreement do you think would "please him for the time being?"  And what do you do when he turns that down, because he wants to be paid like a franchise QB?
