[QUOTE="Pokerbrat2000, post: 866901, member: 7261"] I think that is the unknown at this time that will keep the contract low enough to justify keeping him for his other skills as well as being their #2 and potentially a starter. I highly doubt any team is stupid enough to offer him starter money or even 2019 Teddy Bridewater money. He hasn't proven himself to be a starter or even a full time backup. As a matter of fact, if he wasn't doing everything else he was doing and only carrying a clipboard, he would be lucky to be getting a min contract for backups. This has never been about whether he is a franchise or a starter to me and some of you keep wanting to make it about that. The Saint are slapping the first round tag on him and are willing to pay him that price, because of all the things he does, mostly not as a QB. There is some definite value that he is also probably good enough to be their #2, as well as there is the potential of him being a starter some day. All of those traits combined have a value, for this year the Saints have said that it is at least $4.6M and are willing to pay it and see what happens next season. This whole notion of "he views himself as a franchise QB" really means nothing at this time. It might next year when he could becomes an Unrestricted Free Agent, but even then, 32 teams will determine his value, just like they do for every other player looking for employment in the NFL.
