Most players do not hold out on their Rookie contract, after that the gloves come off.
I completely get where you both are coming from but I don't want one year to screw us long term. Its only four years, finish them and get rewarded for your hard work. I don't mind him making more money because he finishes the year with 10 plus sacks and we win the superbowl. All is good for me but very few players hold out on their rookie contract after three years.
If he was an A his rookie year, and A his second and A his third then I get it but one great year would make he just wait and see.
But for clarification I 100% want him on the team short and long term. I just don't see any reason to rush into it only after three years.
