While I would love to get AJ on an incentitive laden deal, it's not going to happen that way.
Guys, any multi-year deal is going to be well north of 20 mil in guarantees. So if you want him on one just keep that in mind.
A franchise tag is a fully guaranteed at 18 mil. And he doesn't want that. So it doesn't make sense for him to take many of the proposals and hypotheticals I've seen. He's not going to take less guaranteed money on a multi-year deal than he's afforded on a single year deal.
You're probably looking at 14-16 mil per for 3 or 4 years with a 25+ signing bonus. The "protection" we would have is cutting bait early and eating that bonus. Which is fine, that's how it works. But having some special clause that protects is fantasy. He playing at 8 mil plus tons of incentitives is fantasy.
It's the tag, or something like 3 years 45 mil or 4 years 60 mil with 25-30 guaranteed. That's the ballpark.
