From his interviews I read him as valuing a good work environment - WE locker room - so that will factor in as well as his fair market value.  Will this help us or hurt us? I am clueless because I am not in there with the players. I would like to pay him $20 million this year as a signal to the world we believe he is THE one and not some bargain basement replacement to appease fans and disgruntled players.

Marrone wants a veteran.  Caldwell is up in the air. He chose Bortles last time so I hope  Marrone wins out and we get Foles, if affordable.

Now for the Draft:

If we sign Foles, we have placed a check mark next to QB. Caldwell and Company are standing pat at WR. I concur with their assessment. So I believe they will go best available player for OL or TE at #7 and in our second pick unless a stud to replace Gibson falls to us.

I saw a sleeper QB at the Combine that would be a bargain in the Third Round but I cannot remember the name. I just remember thinking Natural Athlete.

Thank the stars that you are not our GM, then. You don't overpay a guy just to tell other teams you're committed to the dude. I certainly hope we can bring him in for cheaper than that, if we do decide to bring him in.

Draft - you thinking of Tyree Jackson, out of Buffalo? Only one I can think of who would fit that bill, and he's going to need work, and likely available after the 3rd
