I don't think that that necessarily translates to bad under pressure, but he has already shown that not having a contract is a distraction. In fact, it was his worst season. Paying someone a franchise tag salary for another year like he had last year is just stupid. Sign him for multiple years or pull the tag.
So he can have multiple seasons like he had last year? He needs to play on the tag at this point to show he can be consistent.
