I guess my point is no one has to. The remainder of this season (especially if 100%) healthy will mean a lot.
The second part of all this is, even if his play doesn't change, it comes down to how much he would sign for.
Spotrac $s ($14.8M) are a guide, not etched in stone.
I don't see him (as of now) deserving top 10 DT money, but I do see him somewhere between 10-20.
That would be a yearly average of around $9M.
