That guy nailed it.

Take a look around the league at the NFL's perennial contenders -- the Patriots, Seahawks and Packers come to mind -- and note how rarely they hand out extensions with multiple years to go just to keep players happy.

I have been wondering what the Patriots would do with Donald. My guess is pay him the next two years and franchise him once or twice. Then trade him before that last year or sign him to a new contract then.

Whatever we pay Donald will hurt us elsewhere.
