I think he drops to the low end of the Franchise tag value, He still will get money, but this is two Decembers in a row where with the playoffs on the line his play has noticeably dropped.

Yes there are other circumstances, and yes a qb hungry team will pay $25-28Million, but if he's thinking about $30-32 million, I don't think a team can justify that.
