Whenever he gets a long term deal, it's going to be at the top of the market. It may make sense to franchise tag him for a year or two before doing a long-term deal. I think the cap hit would be lower. 

While that is true to safeites getting the FT, I like the message a long term deal for these guys shows the younger players.  I know, you shouldn't let emotions get in the way of hard line business decisions, but they have lost so many of their own draft picks recently that I think it is becoming a trend.
