Message: <blockquote data-quote="HardRightEdge" data-source="post: 758789">PFF gave Matthews an 83.4 grade for , #26 among edge defenders, above average.  That seems about right.<a href="https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/clay-matthews/4949" target="_blank">https://www.profootballfocus.com/nfl/players/clay-matthews/4949</a>Now, is that worth $11.4 million "per year"?  Not if he was sitting on 4 years remaining at $45 million.  You cannot compare Matthews' number to that 4 year contract for any other player where the imbedded long term risk is much higher.He's definitely worth keeping.  His outright release would be a low probability event, especially given the "who else ya got" factor.So, where might you end up in a renegotiation/extension?  2 years/ $16 million or 3 years / $24 million?  That can gain some meaningful cap space for 2018 via signing bonus, but then you assume considerable dead cap risk in 2019 or 2019/2020 risk when he'll be age 33 and 34.For a little perspective, the Packers signed Peppers to 3 years / $26 million / $7.5 signing bonus as the only guarantee in 2014. Prices have gone up since then.There isn't much to be gained here when taking a multi-year perspective.</blockquote>
