Should be re-signed before camp. 4 years, $20-25M I am probably his #1 fan, but give him that much cheddar, based on? If you add 4 years, $20M to his 1.8M cap number now, it would average 4.36M over 5 years, 34th for DEs. By the end of his contract it will be closer to 50th. Would structure it 2016- 4M guaranteed 2017- 4M guaranteed 2018- 4.4M 2019- 4.4M 2020- 5M I dont know man, I love the guy, but I would like to see more production before writing the check. What's your goal? To get him signed for 3M a year instead of 4.36? Risk him getting to free agency for all that? This team has blown money free agent bums but we finally have a home grown player and now fans want to get cheap. A home grown player that has 7 sacks from 2013-2015? I would let him play out the season and see how it goes. If he turns into JJ this season, then fine you pay him. And yes it would cost us more, but I would gladly pay the big season dividend if he earned it. That is what I hope happens, but it is unlikely. I think the more likely scenario is, Robert balls out big time. And we are all saying, William who?

Challenge you to look at it more logically. He's not a pass rusher, think everyone accepts that. But there's a role, a winning role, that he excels at. I want to pay him like the 40-50th best DE, you bring up "if he turns into JJ". Watt is likely going to be a top 5 DE of all time. And you finish it in typical Buc fan fashion, thinking a Free Agent will over perform.
