Even at the minimum, that's still giving hundreds of thousands of dollars to essentially do nothing for a year, and that is assuming he's fully recovered by next season to play Week 1. If he's on PUP, you're talking about another 6+ weeks of being paid to not contribute.

IMO wait until January and see how he's recovering, then potentially sign him. He's not proven to be anything worthwhile in the NFL in the games he's played thus far anyway, so there's likely a decent chance he's still available to be scooped up next offseason.

He just tore his ACL, so he wouldn't be a candidate for PUP, so he isn't contributing at all this year.  Just rehab.  If he works his butt off, and comes back really strong, you just stole a borderline first round talent and could either trade him for a draft pick or keep him as a backup to Ross.

As far as how much they would have to pay him, again,  I think it would be minimal.  He may be available in January, but I would rather be sure to get him.
