I think Tuesday is the deadline to sign extensions that increase salary for this current season. It would be pretty cool to beat Pittsburgh and then send JC into the bye week with a nice fat wallet. I don't think it will be a distraction at all. He deserves it, mid-season extensions happen all the time, just pay him. LaCanfora thinks he's gonna get Big Ben type money, or more. In the $40M guaranteed range with a max value around $100M. Sounds like Vinny has no interest in paying him until after the season:
