If Gio's numbers were the same as his first 3 years when he signed the year 6 extension then I wouldn't have a problem with it.  But they're nowhere even close.

You don't pay a guy 5 mil a year who's coming off a 458 yard, 2 TD season, followed by a 211 yard 0 TD season. (Only averaged 220 yards receiving over these 2 years as well)

My point is that Gio's is overpaid on his 3rd contract.  You can't base his value moving forward on what happened 5 years ago.  That's not how this league or negotiations works.  Just because Gio was better in years 1 through 3 doesn't mean you ignore years 4 through 8.  That's insane.

Maybe he is overpaid or maybe he was under used, but Austin is not a good comparison since he is only on his 2nd contract so when u compare them but deserved their 2nd contract.., Gio did get less $$ on his 2 yr contract than previous contract.
