He's going to ask for that based off Wallace getting almost 6M/yr and the market thinning, but Cincy isn't offering that. He also has to see it's his best chance to showcase himself as a #2 with so many other targets and a likely rookie #3. I don't know that anyone gives him more than a 3 yr deal, so the one year showcase may be the way to go. I'm guessing he would settle for 4M for a 1 yr deal but Cincy gets him to sign a 2yr deal for 6.5-7M total. He had some drops but the same % that Eifert had (8.1). He can play multiple positions and extend the field somewhat. He's a very reasonable option especially if they aren't giddy about the really old and fragile vets available.
