I am hoping for 4/80 mil

$25m/yr is probably where the market is. 

$20m/yr would put him below DJ Moore and Keenan Allen and tied with Amari Cooper and Mike Williams. $24-25m/yr would put him at AJ Brown, DK Metcalf, Deebo Samuel. 

By Week 1 of 2024, $20m/yr would see him in a 4-way tie for around 18th among WRs while $25m/yr would put him in a tie for 10th and $24m/yr would see him fall out of the top-10 entirely just 1 year after signing.

So I look at the market like that, and then I see his agent is the same agent for Deshaun Watson (huge 100% guaranteed mega-contract), Derwin James (highest paid S in the NFL), and Jessie Bates (4th highest paid S in the NFL, very intentionally $5,000/yr more than the 5th highest paid). 

3yr/$72 or 4yr/$100m is my guess.

Back in Feb, another guy projected 4yr/$95m (with incentives to reach $100m)
