Exactly, I agree. The money part will always work itself out, but you need to time the contracts expiring with other contracts on the team. I think the max anyone gets on this team is 4 years, save for Gio, Brodie, Mony, Johnny and maybe one or two others. (Hudler, Russell)
That being said, you offer a 3 or 4 year deal to Bouma, and let him decide if he likes term or money. My guess is he goes for term over money. The dollar value will be dictated by the market at time of negotiations.
This "show me" nonsense people are saying is just a big pile of nope. He's never going to be a superstar, he is what he is. He's shown over the last 2 seasons to be a warrior, not just this year. The points are bonus for the team.
