Let him play out the contract and see how his health holds up throughout the season...

If he shows fatigue or decline as the season moves on, then what no one wants to speak of is then upon us...

There's no need to extend now as there's no advantage gained in free agency...

You still have two, three other players who can re-work their contracts or be released to gain room for a FA DT and the first round pick...

Let him hit FA market next season; let the market set the price; we'll have the room to compete with anyone for him...

...and we won't have to extend him with guaranteed money when he's no longer playing and be strapped like we are with dead money this season...

It's not that my way is the right way, I just make the right way my way...
