I'm all for keeping him, don't get me wrong. He was injured, yes, but he still got beat.

last year it was a wrist injury, this year it was a foot injury, but the argument of him being paid either top TE money vs. top 5 WR money is in the interest of the team.

CJ had a brachial plexus injury last year and still blew records. This year he had a knee and finger issue yet he was arguably the best receiver this year as well. At some point, they're going to have to use something to argue vs. jimmy's agents that he is a TE, not a WR and the lack of production vs. physical team/players is going to come up.

Chad504boy's contract prediction of where tings should settle for Jimmy.

6 years 57.5 million 22 million guaranteed

Jimmy will attempt to look for upwards amounts of 11-12 mill a year but mickey hard balls his arse and gets him back down to earth at somewhere a bit over 9 mill a year.
