Not arguing that, just seeing the numbers it’s not unreasonable to think that cooks is going to want north of 60 over 5.

I think his comparable will be Watkins. He's a better player and will get 1/1.5m per year more than him.

I think you are right.

12.5m per is expensive, and i see he leaving. But they have like 5 players and over 40m next year, they can easily pay him.

Stephen Gostkowski ***
Chris Hogan
Danny Shelton
Mike Gillislee
Patrick Chung ***
Brandin Cooks ***
Malcom Brown
Eric Rowe
Trey Flowers ***
Shaquille Mason ***

Really cheap - less than a million or near that:

Joe Cardona
James Develin
Brandon Bolden
Ryan Lewis
Ryan Allen

Will be cut/traded before hits FA:

Shea McClellin
Phillip Dorsett
Kenny Britt
Jordan Richards
Will Tye
Geneo Grissom
James Ferentz
Nicholas Grigsby
Jonathan Jones
Eric Lee
Chase Farris
Cody Hollister
David Jones
Jason King
Damarius Travis
