Every team is made up of players like him. Not everyone can be a star. And if he's "just a guy" than 80% of the league is just a guy.
I don't think anyone is calling for him to paid big time money (14+ mil). And if you lock him up now you'll see a discount for 2 main reasons: 1.) You're signing him early, when he has no leverage that free agency offers, and it gives him security, and 2.) You're signing him coming off of a down year.
You get a deal now, say for 7 or 8 mil per, there's a pretty good chance that you're getting a bargain. If goes out this year and gets double digit sacks I would imagine that production and his age would warrant him 10+ easily. And worst case scenario, you just paid market price for decent starter.
Just my 2 cents.
