I think there are two options that would be fair to both sides:

Give him a one year contract at about the level of Gonzo.

Or give him a multi-year deal with a signing bonus at a level significantly better than he is now, but around the #3 slot in the league.

Either option would balance the reward/risk on for the player and team. The current contract makes Gates bear all the risk. A huge multi-year contract is not warranted based on one good year because it puts too much risk on the Chargers.

Why everyone can't see this and get a deal done is beyond me, but I sure am happy about it.

Another thing to keep in mind, Gates is not even under contract. I don't think his situation should even be characterized as a "holdout". He's an exclusive rights free agent, meaning he can only negotiate with the San Diego Chargers.

Gates can't report until he signs either the tender or a long-term deal, which the team says it has been working on since last season."

one year.
Get a contract full of incentives, give him a $1M at least as a base, with dramatic increases in base in future years as incentives.

These guys think they are gods gift to football after a year.

Gates is about as close to a godsend for a team I have ever seen.

Cool. I didn't need a link because I trust people, but I appreciate the effort. I guess I haven't been following that situation too closely.

Contracts are contracts. Get it ?

The guy had no problem when he signed it.

If he thought he was such hot shit then why didn't he demand teams pay him that in the first place ?

Well, as discussed about 2 posts up, hes not under contract. he is an exclusive rights free agent. He just cant negotiate elsewhere.
