I am not saying he will get more than $10m per year, but he won't be taking $4m. I think a lot of fans are really overrating how often a player chooses to ring chase instead of taking money. Maybe if it is an older player, but Fuller is only 28. I don't think Cincinnati is going to get anyone of note that is willing to take a small contract to chase a ring. To most guys, success isn't as important as the money.
And he played in 2 games all year, catching 4 passes for 26 yards. His market is going to be very slim if I had to guess.
Doesn't matter how much the WR market is inflated, guy is going to have to take a cheap prove-it deal. Likely based around per-game bonus incentives.
I wouldn't hate a Will Fuller deal where he made $1m base salary and then had something like $250k or $300k per game active. Would put it at $5.25m or $6.1m if he played 17 games. I highly doubt he stays healthy, though. Seems like less a gamble and more an inevitability.
