I don't see how you extend him.  About three weeks ago I did the math and figured out that he has missed 40% of the games since entering the NFL, obviously that number is only going up with each week.  Think about that... I don't care how good you are at your job, if you're not there half the time they are going to find a replacement.  How do you invest $25-30 million in a guy that you can't count on to contribute?

As I type this, I realize there is probably a good chance that he gets extended.  Not sure why, but it seems like something the front office will do.  And it won't be for $25 million... hell, Shawn Williams got $20 million.
