His 2017 contract with the Saints was 4 yr, $34 million.  He received $25.5 million of that so he was still due to get $8.5 million this year.  I think he would want at least that much to sign with another team.  But supply and demand will determine what he actually gets.       

I think your numbers are off due to upfront and roster bonuses he received.  He received a bonus in year 1 alone of 8.5 million.

I think he was only due around 6 million in year 4 and Saints had to eat (dead cap) money.
