I honestly don't think even 12 would put us in cap hell but I agree we should not pay him 12 or even 11. I doubt he gets that much though.  I'm guessing that we will get him for around 9-9.5 or he will sign elsewhere for 10-10.5.  I think he would give us that much of a hometown discount.  Give him a tick over what we gave Jordy to soothe his ego and guarantee a couple of million more than the other team and I think he takes our offer.  Of course a lot of that may depend on the team making the offer.  He may look at catching passes from Andrew luck as just as beneficial as catching passes from Aaron Rodgers.Lets say we offer 8 and he walks.  Unless we try to replace him with a rookie we are likely going to have to pony up 4-5 million in FA to get anyone with anything even half way close to his ability and we will save 3-4 million.  I don't think the savings is worth the risk.</blockquote>
