Would you pay Bowe $120-130M for 8 years?

That's what most are thinking. That's why I said no way.

He's not going to get paid like Fitz or Megatron, but Bowe is a #1 WR, and he should get paid like one.

Exactly. If he's stuck on those figures it's because he wants out of town. Plain and simple. A 5-6 year deal worth 11-12 a year with half of it guaranteed should be pretty easy to get done if he has any interest in playing here.

I agree.

6 or 60.

35+ guaranteed.

Why do we care about the number of years and total dollars when they're immaterial?

The only thing that matters is guaranteed dollars, and what you've suggested sounds fine.
