I personally think Lee is getting shown up by our young talent.
Not entirely sure he will be a jag next year
Not unless he wants to take a huge pay cut, which I highly doubt will happen. It'll be his first FA contract. Him, like most everybody is going to want to try and get as much as they can on that first contract, because the 2nd one is never guaranteed.
If we had to choose, I'd much rather them focus that money towards Colvin, but he'll probably want to get paid nicely as well.
I just don't think it'd be smart to tie up that kind of money in 3 WRs (Robinson/Hurns/Lee), when these 3 young guys are showing so much potential. Plus 2 of them were UDFAs and the other was a 4th round pick. They don't take up much cap space at all.
Lee will probably get a contract around what Hurns got. Around $10m a year likely imo.
But you never know. Maybe that we're finally winning Lee and Colvin will take the team friendly deals and stay on with the team. They have did nothing but lose during their time in the NFL, up until this year.
It wouldn't upset me if Lee wasn't here next season, I don't think he will be. I'd really like to keep Colvin though. Our Secondary is ridiculous and I'd really rather not break that up. But it is a money game at the end of the day and we have to start looking forward. One of the problems with building through the draft and hitting on so many picks, you can't keep them all.
