Message: <blockquote data-quote="McKnowledge" data-source="post: 954748" data-attributes="member: 11543">Not to mention, it creates a wrinkle with the GB organization over how much they want Lazard featured in the offense.If GB misses in the draft, and also strikes out in FA, there could be a scenario where Lazard would be heavily leaned upon.I don't think GB wants this as it would raise the price of Lazard for the following season.Faced with the possible dilemma of protecting the cost/benefit of the player vs the production from said player towards winning; I think GB should get a deal done quickly with Lazard around 4 years from 16M-20M.Its a good deal, and if structured correctly, it maintains the current year cap hit of around 4M, that he would receive for signing the tender, but also its a long term deal too.Both sides get out after 2-3 seasons and go from there.The deal would coincide (hopefully) with the ascension of a better receiver or two.Lazard works hard, plays hard, and should be rewarded, but even at his best, he's fairly limited.Entering his age-27th year, I can't see Lazard becoming Mike Evans.Best to lock him up now, and keep the best blocking WR and reliable red zone target in GB.</blockquote>
