The question is how long is Chris gonna be Chris, bc history suggests he's nearing the end of his prime and about to enter the decline. A decline for Chris is still a good pass rushing DT, but that would not be worth such a massive cap hit.
It's gonna come down to structure more than anything which is why I hope if they get it done, they could do it now while he's still 29.
I don't think we should give him a contract that doesn't have an out after his age 31 season.

Oh I agree that he's not worth $30 million a year at his age, but he still should have 2-4 years of elite, or at least very good play left in him. I think the structure is what will matter the most. Even at four years we could move on from him when he is 33.
