I think you sign him before FT even is tendered. Even if that means a 25-26million average per year over 6 years, with 65 guaranteed.
a few points:
1) if you tag him, he now knows next years tag is 33million. That's even more outlandish than 24 million
2) if you let him test the market, some team will make a crazy offer (when is the last time a Pro Bowl/record setting qb hit free agency in the prime of his career?)
3) yes 25mill is high this year, but likely the cap hit would be 19-21million, more than doable with 65Million in space. and going forward his cap hit will decline as a percentage of the cap (assuming its continued growth). Think about Aaron Rodgers, Could anyone sign him now for what GB signed him for what he was signed for in 2013/14. No way.
4) d***it I just want the Skins qb situation to be a done deal with a competent qb. Is that too much to ask???????
