Value of: Gabriel Vilardi

[MardyBum]

With the cap being known to go up so much the next few years I have no idea. 9 mil might be fair soon enough.

8.5 AAV sounds about right.

One year from UFA? Cap projected to jump for the next 3 years means 9 AAV isn't crazy.

8 year contract too due to injury history. Has to cash in. Bonus heavy too to prevent buyout after possible injury later in career.

If not, he'll go UFA to a team where the GM isn't worried about years 5-7.

Jets shouldn't be worried about the end of any long contracts, their window is Helle/Scheifele and then a whole bunch of mystery.

Yes the cap is going up a ton but he is not getting paid more than Scheifele.

I could see it based on % of cap. Schief signed at 9.66% at the time... if you give vilardi 8.75% of the 95.5M cap, it comes out to 8.365M... I think that's fine. Even up to 9% of cap which is 8.595M

I'm sure schief won't give a f*** if Gabe makes more money than him. Schief wants to win, and Gabe helps that... plus, Gabe makes Schief better and bumps his production

Offer him 50m over 7 years and I bet he extends.
A lot of players like playing here once they get there.

I'd go 55m over 7 years and be happy to do it.
