I just don't believe that AJ is a part of this team when we are winning meaningful games in 2015/2016. So why not take the cap hit this year when we can afford it (The hit is probably still sizable when we inevitably cut him next year or the year after). Additionally, he is probably worth about a 3rd now (or maybe a conditional/performance based 2nd). Another year older and coming off a year of Fitzpatrick throwing to him, we'll get nothing for him.
So why dig in now if someone is wiling to give us anything? I don't buy that we are worried about setting a precedent like I've heard reported. He is not holding out for money, so what is the danger? Are we seriously worried that if we are terrible in the future and guys want to play for a good team, they will point back to this? Shouldn't we be plan on never being a throw away team again?
