I agree, but my thought is that he might reduce his contract understanding that he's more likely to stay healthy in a reduced role and also have more success here and, ultimately, be happier.
He could also take a couple million more per year to play on a potentially non-contender franchise, away from people he's clearly formed a bond with, in a more difficult role that will likely see him injured again. Rehabbing ain't fun.
I wouldn't begrudge him if he went where the money was. I know a slot receiver like himself only has so long of an NFL shelf life. But a few more million dollars over the life of a contract won't buy him the same bond he now has or the same legacy. It's not easy for a player in their prime to realize that but Danny strikes me as the kind of guy who may. We'll see.
Not just the money, but the chance to fulfill his potential. I like the guy, I'd like him to play here and I'm sure he won't read this before deciding but there's always the possibility a good team could make him a starter.
