Remember when we had no tight ends?

You boys ready for a 4 year extension for 70 mil, 17.5 mil per year?

Pssh I’d do 700 million for 700 hundred years.

Yeah I stole that joke from twitter.

We're rolling over about $18 million, so if they front load it with that in mind, it won't look bad the following 3 years.

$20 million signing bonus ($50 total guaranteed)
Year 1 - guarantee the full year at $30 million base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $35 million

Year 2 - $7.66 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $12.66 million

Year 3 - $6.67 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $11.67 million

Year 4 - $5.67 base + $5 million prorated cap hit for $10.67 million

Do you really see a need for this kind of contract?

I’m not feeling it, at least not currently.

If we don't want to lose him, then yes. He's going to get top dollar on the open market.

My non-professional guess is that he will get a contract that makes him the highest paid TE. About 17.5 mil per year.

And if you want me to share why it would be smart for the Cardinals to pay it, I can.
