he has been a solid go-to guy. he showed me more last year than ever before leading by example and keeping his yap shut more, dropping fewer balls, and toughness in playing through injuries. that said, he has never been in the elite game breaker class in my eyes. at this age he is not going to be getting better and only become more injury prone. i say pay him top dollar but i think beyond two more years is exorbitant risk in the cap world. i dont think he would have the world at his feet in the free market. he probably has more negative buzz attached to him from his jawing and infamous phone use than he deserves. thanks joe, we love n appreciate ya but it is a business. work with us and we will work with you as your skills diminish so you might retire here.
