With reports that Riley Cooper is set to sign a new contract with the Eagles, I believe this will impact the pats FA plans and will set the market for Edelman's deal.
I believe it will set the top end of value for Edelman's contract because:
1. Both have one season of top end production with very little prior success; "one season wonders" so far.
2. Both are around the same age.
3. Both have similar career production.
Riley: 4 seasons, 93 catches, 1514 yds, 16.3 YPC, 13 TDs
JE: 5 seasons, 174 catches, 1770yds, 10.2 YPC, 10 TDs
I think Cooper will get a bigger contract than JE because he is younger, bigger, and his skill set is more rare than JE. But his contract will be important to set the ceiling for money JE can earn in his next contract. I hope Cooper is between 5.5-6 million average so we can get JE a little cheaper.
