This is a great source for contracts

This year Pot Roast is the 18th highest paid DT/NT in the league...reasonable. McC told him if he shows results he will pay him...this year started slow, but he has been great the second half of the year. I def think add a weight clause, work out bonus and game/snap incentive could be smart, but I don't think a massive salary bump is coming...but if we gave him a raise to 6.0 to 6.5 million per on a 2-3 year deal it works in our favor. NT/DT are really hard to find

again, i don't think he wants $20m either, i'm just saying there are also 31 other teams and if someone goes crazy, you can't just blankly say "we've got to pay him no matter what." he's been alright, but not balls off amazing, and this is in a contract year.

as far as his value for next year, i don't know who else is available yet, and that affects the price, as well as what he's asking for. If someone offers him too much (beyond what is reasonable to match) then we move on, if not, then we tender an offer. it's hard to say anyone that isn't under contract is "definitely" going to be back, cause things happen.

I would like him back, and i would like goldson back, but if goldson refuses to come back for less than the $8m base salary on the books for 2016, then it's probably time to look elsewhere. overpaying any player now hurts your ability to keep good players later. guys like djax and cousins are going to need money, and frankly, they're more important.
