IIRC, the FT for a FS in 2018 is a little over $11M. Next year should be close to $12M.I say we franchise tag him but in doing so I think we'd be paying him $20 mil+
Sooooooooooooooooo, he plays out this year's contract at over $8M, then gets FT'd next year for about $12M and that would be roughly $20M for these next 2 years. Add a 3rd year at say...$14M and that would be $34M for 3 years.
That is less $ than what ET would sign a 3 year deal for, so it is a position the Seahawks own and may use. It would then be up to Earl to retire or play.
I doubt he walks away from those dollars even though it is less than he desires.
