But I think we are overestimating the severity of the injury. Concern is not unfounded, but he's already had the surgery and started rehab. If there was gonna be a major problem, he'd have encountered it already. Plus, he's aleady recovered from this on the other leg. It did not derail his play. He should be good for the business end of the season.
He's the best run stopping NT type on the market.
I mean, IDK if the first year cap hit number will be $15, I am not a contract wizard, but I figure APY will be $12-$16 mil. If we could get the first year cap hit down to around/under $12.5, I'd be giddy. He and Tee for under $30 mil would have me giddy. I expect $30-$35 (cap) for the both of them. Roughly 20 (Tee) and 15 (Reader). The tag is $21 for Higgins. Cap wise, we shouldn't sign him for more than that, year 1.
I dont disagree that those sites have him listed that high. Reader's last quad injury occurred in October, this one in mid December and he will be 30 years old. He and my son are good friends and I would love to resign him for more years. Im not sure that the DT pay scale for run stoppers has risen so much that 15M is a good deal for an older guy recovering from major surgery?
