yeah I think my initial 8.5-9.5 million is probably off...a little high. But I certainly think 7-7.5 per year on a 3 year contract is good value. Locker room - team leader type who has worked hard and every year has gotten better. I think he certainly has at least 2 more years of solid play left. If we handed him a 3 year 22-23 million contract, that would solidify a DT/DE position along a D-Line which was quite frankly bottom 5 in the league. Baker was really the only playmaker on the line. Ricky Jean, Ziggy are decent rotation DE-types, but are not starters.
To me, its gonna be hard to let the only real starter leave. We are then talking 3 new starters on the Dline alone. And don't give me Ionnadis or Lanier...they clearly arent starters yet.
