Sure, he's not having as good of a season as last year, and that missed pick6 was painful to watch, but he's still a top tier player at his position.  Perhaps instead of setting the market at $20M/per, we can secure him for 5 years/$80M?

Exactly! Just because he is not going to reset the market doesn't mean he isn't good nor that we shouldn't resign him. He is having a down year, but he still very young and his ceiling is still relatively high. If we don't cash him out, someone will.
