But if he fails to develop then we have another over paid player sitting on the bench. We still have a good year left to evaluate his tallent and where he is. So next year around this time would be a good time to decide if we want to extend his contract and that would be a 1 1/2 years before his current contract is up. That gives us room to still negotiate because agents like to take the sure money rather than waiting because in the NFL things can change real quickly.
