His contract also includes escalators that could bring his total contract to over $40M, with the 7th year voidable. The escalators are based on playing time, performance, and Pro Bowl or All-Pro selections.
Considering his Pro Bowl appearance last year and the fact he hasn't missed any significant time so far in his career, you'd have to think he's already hit some of those escalators.
So the question is, how do we really know that he's unhappy about his current contract when we really don't know what he's been paid to date as far as escalators go?

Where is the escalator clause information? Never heard that before. He has an opt out clause after next season. We need to re-sign him now so that he's a Redskin for life. Don't need some desperate team out there to throw huge money his way and potentially lose him. That would be a Nightmare!!
