I mean look at the picks we'll have to give up in a addition to gutting our roster and system. We could literally be last season's Buffalo by the time he's up for renewal, and then what? He's not gonna want to sign here, he's gonna want to go somewhere competitive.
Is he shiny? Yes, but let's not go blind from staring at him and lose sight of the big picture.

If he plays good enough to be paid $15M in four years it probably means he was worth it.
