As for $7 million, the following receivers are set to make $7 million in 2016:
Torrey Smith
Andre Johnson
Kendall Wright
Michael Floyd
Golden Tate
Every one of those guys had a better track record than Marvin Jones when they signed their contract. Jones is overvaluing himself.
Torrey Smith 5 year $40 million. Average of $8 million a year.
Andre Johnson 3 year $21 million, but he was 34 years old.
Kendall Wright was limited to $7.3 million because it was the fifth year option on his rookie contract. That is the Max he could have gotten even if he was worth more.
Michael Floyd was in same situation as Wright. That was the max he could get even if he was worth more.
Golden Tate signed for 5 years $31 million, but that was three years ago. The cap has gone way up since then, so a guyb with the same production would get a lot more this year.
As I have already said I expect Marvin to get 6 to 7 million a year in free agency, and I think we should pay that much to keep him.
