Quote:8 is too much imo. I don't think anyone is going to take him up on that. Maybe 4-5.

If I'm Coughlin, then I'd pay 10 million for him to play. I'd offer 20 million for 2 years. Along with incentives.


Something like 1200 yards, pro bowl, playoffs, top 3 in rushing, play in all 16 games.


Then I would fully guarantee every penny. We have absolutely nothing to lose. We had many years that we didn't have to resign any draft picks and hardly any star free agents wanted to come to Jacksonville. So I'd do it.


If he wants 8 million, but a team says he's only worth 4-6 millions, then I wouldn't let 2 or 4 million bucks come between the potential of having a 1200 yard running back go to another team.


He falls under the Tony Romo train of thought. He's only worth it if he stays healthy and he hasn't played much in the last few seasons. But at the beginning of each season, everything starts fresh. Clean slate. Injuries are in the past and everybody is healthy now.


We won 3 games. So overpaying 4 million bucks is not beneath me. That's all I'm saying. 8 million bucks won't make or break us.
