And in some games played like $3it. Not to mention the whole ankle situation where Stephenson (sucked so bad he's gone Stephenson) played great while Fish nursed a sprained ankle of questionable magnitude.
It's one thing to say he went from clear bust in year one to respectable/solid starter in year 4. I think that's fair.
To say he's worth $12 million is insane. Hell, Smith and co. managed to make the playoffs when he played like ass his rookie year.
I'd overpay Poe and Berry with that money before I gave Fisher a dime over $6 mil....

Even average LT's are extremely difficult to find nowadays. He's got a lot of value here and he looked like a top 10 caliber LT at the end of the season.
I think $10 million is the right area for him, but I was just talking about $12 million or losing him.
He struggled early, but he's clearly an above average as of the end of last year and he's played 32 of his last 34 games so he's been very reliable the last couple of years.
