25M per year would make him the fifth highest player in the league this year tied with Dereck Carr and Drew Brees. Not unreasonable for arguably the best defensive player in the league. I'm not sure you build a perennial super bowl contender around a defensive line man, but if the team thinks he is truly that game changing, then pay him that way. They really need to fix the salary system in the next labor disagreement, because there are an inordinate amount of players holding out/demanding renegotiation during their existing contacts. Why sign multi-year deals if you won't honor them, and don't tell me they can renegotiate after three years, because I understand that, but just because one side wants to renegotiate, doesn't mean the other has to accept that.
