Sorry folks, that is his market value. Every position has a market value. It may seem silly or not feel right to pay a guard that much, but get used to it if you want an elite one.
Maybe in the future that price point comes down a bit like it did for RBs, but I'm not holding my breath.

I agree with you with a slight divergence. I do think we overpaid a bit. Any time you use the second tag you are overpaying the market. But the concept of keeping our own elite player outweighs the small percentage of cap that we overpaid by.
We could, of course, cut our own guy and overpay another guy that someone else let walk - remember Adam Archuleta?
