Why on Earth would you commit to paying him elite money now?
Rookie year - Injured, Out for season
2017 - Very good year
2018 - Average at best
2019 - Poor
If you were inclined to lock him up now then you better get a steep discount. Even if you overvalue potential, results still factor greatly in negotiations.
The guy had one good season, one bad one, one average one, and a DNP. Nothing about that calls for rushing to pay him like an elite CB.
For Christ sake, Darius Slay's salary this year is 12 and he might be the best in the game. And you WJ3 deserves top 10 money when he ranks out as an average CB? GTFO...
If he wants anything above 10 then he needs to go out and earn it this season. Paying him big now is the same mistake they made with Kirkpatrick. You don't overpay a guy without proven results, just because he's in-house.
