The other issue is that second year tag will make him far and away the highest TE in the league, what if thats the year he gets hurt again? The smart thing is to structure it incentive based with a decent base salary. Sign him to 4 years with a 6.5 million a year base (putting him around 15th in league), with games played incentives allowing him to be a top 3 TE. Base it that way for the first two years with a decent signing bonus and an out after year 3 in case he does end up hurt again. This gives him motivation to sign and gives us good value if he misses time or it means we have one of the top TE in the game and he is paid like it.
If we go the tag route all your doing is rolling the dice every year while paying him as the top TE in the game. Also understand going for the multi year deal, we can stretch the cap number making it a lot lower as we go where as each year we tag him we eat the full cap number which hurt the rest of our roster.
You know your stuff man, major reps.
Do what he said lol
