We can pay him enough to be happy without paying McCaffery money.

That way he wouldn't be impossible to sign later, we all see his talent. He hasn't had it easy here so far and still has put
up some damn good seasons behind sad Offensive Lines. And, I might add hasn't even been used right in the passing 
game. Need to use him as an extension of the run game in this capacity. Passing the ball to a good pass catching RB is
just as good as running the ball well if you are getting good yardage.

I'm all for him getting a nice raise.  He deserves one.  I just don't want to get too crazy with it.  If they're going to do it, they should do it this offseason.  He's probably young enough to be worth getting 12-14 mil a year and be worth it for the length of the deal.  Every year of wear matters, though.  I'm less excited about paying him next year or the year after if he gets the tag.
