No, not Cruz. I was talking about JPP in that post.

Personnel experts usually identify the time between the third and fifth year of a player's career as the "sweet spot" in the player's performance arc, meaning there's sufficient development without excessive wear and tear. And from a front office vantage point, teams would rather pay a discounted price for a restricted free agent than pay "retail" for unrestricted free agents. Yet RFAs have been largely ignored.

I'm pretty sure the highest RFA tender is a first at 2.8 mil if no one signs him to an offer sheet.

If it's a first and third, it wouldn't be a terrible move, depending on the location of the first round pick. It'd be a shame to lose a guy like Cruz, but the added picks could change the team-dynamic on offense to rely less on the talent of our WRs, and shift to a higher dependence on an elite OL. We've won with both formulas in the past.

8 to 10 mill per season is a bit too much for one receiver, and to big of a hit towards the came. Cruz will definitely be back, but It will interesting to see what kind of deal get done.

cruz gets big signing bonus up front and less per year?

I would rather sign dwayne bowe for 3 mil a year.
