If he ends up as the starter..

..he’ll be a holdout in year 3 or 4 of that deal. But then again, if he’s holding out for more cash, that means we have something in this guy, so I don’t have a problem with that.
I’m just saying, don’t expect him to be making 2.3mil 5 years from now if he starts putting up 1000 yd seasons.

Exactly

Mayhewed?

Did we Mayhew our own guy? I’m sure the front office, however, would love to be put in a position of owing this guy a raise down the road. Way to go Jahvid. The fans will support your willingness to earn it rather than demand it.
