If so, his 5th year option is still ~$22 mill because he's been so productive through his career, IIRC.
So for all intents and purposes, he becomes expensive starting next year.

He is already at $9.8 mil. It is a jump, but not a huge one, like Higgins was this year (+$18 mil) or Burrow will be next (+$26 mil).
Most in the know folks seem to think the cap will go up a ton again. And, we can restructure guys to save a ton if the FO would remove heads from arses (Burrow around $20 mil, Brown etc).
Higgins could be gone. Karras & Hilton & BJ Hill will be on their last year this year. Trent Brown as well. Pratt? A few guys with significant salary will go.
