This is a lot of money to give a guy who isn't super durable.

The beginning of the end for Indy is when they made Freeney the highest played defensive player in football.
You do that when a guy is turning 25, not 30. Giving a edge rusher whose whole game is a quick first step that much money when he is getting old enough to lose that step is not smart.
Giving Sanders all this money could be the second nail in the coffin. As others said, that's a lot of $$$ to give a guy who can't stay consistently healthy.
My guess is they franchise Clark, though the $$$ TEs are getting nowadays, the top 5 average is still probably pretty high.
