Heard that possibility talked about by Cooley and Kevin. I think that's an argument for the team's board to say "take this offer or we have that option and are ready to use it".
But I don't see how that's a great idea, we'd end up paying him in 3 years the same amount of guaranteed money he'd be asking for 6 years...

That would be terrible cap management. You would have given him in effect a 3 year guaranteed of 67-70Million. If you plan to do that, write up a 75Mill guarantee 6yr deal net 145M and be done with it for the next 6 years.

It would hurt the team-building process, as well. The situation here would hardly be encouraging to free agents with a Head Coach in the final year of his contract, a GM on the hot seat, and the starting QB on his second franchise tag deal.

No sense going into it too much. I think most of us would agree that the idea of tagging Kirk twice more is pretty much idiotic. Worse, it portends a descent into Dumb and Dumber II, with Smithers in the role of Vinny.
