1. I haven't seen anyone making excuses for him. It's pretty obvious to anyone with 2 eyes who has watched him throughout his NFL career that he's lost a step.  That doesn't mean he can't help this team.
   
2. This team has one of the healthiest cap situations in the entire league.  Yes, the roster is getting younger, but I wouldn't expect any extension to be a cap buster.  These guys know what they're doing.  If he's not willing to take what the team is offering, they won't overspend.
   
3. Disagree.  We've seen a lot more balance out of the offense of late with him on the field.  His decreased production has removed the notion that he dictates the way we call plays.  2 or 3 years ago that would have been the case.  Not today.
   
4. I've never understood this logic.  Why does he deserve better? 
   

 

 

Valid points. I hear it on the radio all the time though from diehard fans that think MJD still hasn't lost a step. I think your point about the team's cap situation, and them not overspending may play the biggest role in him not coming back. We won't overspend. And he'll want more. And, I just feel that a guy of his caliber should be playing on a better football team. I feel the same way about Adrian Peterson in MInnesotta too. I'd like to see a guy of his caliber get a chance at a ring.
