Dave Cameron suggests 3/48 to 3/60 with an opt-out after 1 year. I don't think that sounds all that bad for us if that's what it took. I don't mind the opt outs anyway because I'd love for him to have an AS year for us even if he bailed.
The wrench in that is the comp pick. I can't see a team giving that up on a guy who can go after 1 year. Analysis I've seen pegs that comp pick at $10M so you'd essentially be adding that to a deal. If he does go 3/48 then you paid him the $16M plus the $10M on the comp. $26M for Gordon doesn't sound appealing, although if he did go 276-18-80 with great defense, a team could live with that price
