What is the going rate for a player who does what he does? I am sure it isn't much higher, and the market will bear this out when he signs for the tender amount, albeit for more than just one year.
This was not about the Colts putting a price on the guy as much as it was protecting a player that they feel is a part of the future. It was necessary to do so while negotiating a new contract.
As for Dam's comment, what are you talking about. This isn't about millionaires versus billionaires. This is about the value of a ST player who gets occasional snaps on defensive plays.
