If he's expecting to get paid like the elite player he's not, he should find some other sucker to pay him.

I'd rather see the Rams franchise tag him and pay him about $15M for yet another prove it season than pay him big money long term. Do NOT Tavon Austin this one Rams. If he wants to be here and will take roughly what Robert Woods got, great. Otherwise, let him walk or franchise him and let him try a 5th time to prove he's actually worth the large long term investment.
