It tells me that we will need to franchise him unless we give him the biggest contract ever for his position.

It's still going to be cheaper than if we negotiate in 2015 when the cap jumps. And we can structure his contract to take one hit today and skip the next hit until 2016 when we have a shitload of cap space we can play with. And none of this affects our comp picks. Re-signing him this year is an excellent idea.
