His deal will be peanuts after T.J Watt, Micah Parsons & Danielle Hunter get paid again. I could argue that Brian Burns possibly gets himself a massive deal given his age and consistency as well. 

He would be a top three - five paid outside backer for a season or two and then quickly fall out of that spot as the salary cap ceiling is raised and everybody else that's better than him or has ascended faster get their new extensions. 

It's not a big deal in the long run. And, again, who the hell are you replacing him with and who do you trust in this front office to get that accomplished? The odds are heavily stacked against you in my opinion.
