In order to be reflective of his achievements along with the effort and talent that he continues to display, would you say putting him in the top 5 DE salaries is a fair spot for him? If so, what value should that contract be?
You are ignoring his 10 million bonus he received 2 years ago, so if they extend him is it fair his real salary in 2025 right now is 20.8 million and not 15.8 million you are using for 27th best.
I have posted many versions in this thread. My sticking point is the 2025 last year of his contract.
If he is truely making 20.8 million right now, then I think extending by offering him 8 to 10 million is fair in 2025, a bonus. Then for years 2 and 3 give him the means to make 32 to 35 million in years 2 and 3, but only guarantee around 60% of year 2 and none of year year 3. Tie it into roster bonuses each year and also performnce bonuses.
It is simple, he keeps producing at the current rate for sacks, he should be rewarded it for it in 2026 and 2027. If he doesn't, that is on him. Why should the team bear the brunt of the risk?

Please use 2025 free agency to fix the trenches, not the draft!!!!!!!!
