shrug I wouldn't franchise him period its a waste of money and if they do franchise him its in hopes of trading him which can blow up in their face.  At this stage of his career, he simply is worth nowhere near 18 million a year with two years off with an injury regardless of how good he plays its simply dumping money down the tube you could be using to bolster your roster.  If he believes that Joe Burrow is the man many believe he will be then he simply has to take a discount.
