If we really want to keep this dude, just give him the damn guaranteed $$ now before the has another huge year and that number goes up to $70 million.
Do the 3 year deal, add it onto his last year of his rookie contract year and have him here for 4 more years with a way out after year 2.

Clark also had more sustained production and was in his tag year.
Chiefs have Jones for 2/18-ish if tagged next year. Dude has minimal leverage.
Also, there’s no guarantee how he’ll play in a 4-3 or that he’s not contaminated by Houston and HoboSpirit’s attitudinal AIDS.
