It exists so that players must have demonstrated a quality level of play for at least 4 years NOT 3, so that teams will have a minimum body of evidence to base giving out huge contracts to the player at the time they reach free agency.
So to those who say Butler deserves more money NOW, technically he does not. Players did agree to the current system
If players want dollars beyond what their RFA tender allows for (3.9 million in Butler's case) and they do not want to wait another year until hit UFA, they either have to take a bit of a discount on the long term deal (see Chris Harris and Broncos) or arrange for another team to sign to an offer sheet.
I really believe that a compromise should be possible!!!
I do not thing MB deserves Gilmore $ yet because he is not an UFA. So if he wants security the deal should be between the tender amount 3.9/1 year and Gilmore's huge deal. However Gilmore is being paid to be a #1 CB.
Harris 3 years ago got 8mill/year and 25 guaranteed for a 4 year extension.
Hopefully reasonable heads will prevail. I hope Butler will consider
10 Million/year for 4 years with 35 guaranteed and 15 million signing bonus
Isn't that enough??????
