The guy is a team first guy, and has a great work ethic from every report I've ever read.

I mean I don't want to say he's elite, but he's not average either. I'll settle for above-average. I just don't want to commit a huge chunk of cap to him, that's all. Kerrigan will be due eventually and we all know if RG3 rebounds from this year he will get a huge deal in a year or two. You can't be putting most of your money into a small group of players. You think the Ravens want to be paying Flacco elite money now? I like Orakpo, I want him to be here for a long time, I just don't want to be paying him huge money. An above-average deal for an above-average player sounds good to me.
