Restructuring by extending him is a double edge sword. He has been hurt 2/4 years he has been here. Note that both times he was injured we made the super bowl! On a good year, if he plays a full season he is worth $6M/yr. He will cost us $2.5M just to cut him. By my math he is worth about $3M/yr, I would offer to rip up the one he has and pay him 12M/3 years guaranteed. It would be only extending him 2 years at a cap friendly number. Maybe he can get more on the open market,,,,but if we hold him and let the money run dry elsewhere before releasing him(and the fact that he is hurt is going to help us)we can manipulate it to our advantage. And he wont get guaranteed money elsewhere.
Colvin's worth more than $3M per, gus. Really, he's about worth what NE's paying him ($5.5M), but the past restructure increased his cap hit.
