That was the contract he signed with the Dolphins when he was a 26 year old with a pair of recent 1000 yard seasons on his resume.
Now he's a 30 year old coming off of a 473 yard season. It's pretty obvious that demand for his services will be down and nobody is mistaking him for a #1 WR anymore. If I were betting, I'd say he'll make less than $6 mil/per on his next deal, but you never know. We'll see.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
