DB would get $2 for this year, and assuming it was a decently good year, could probably expect $4 to $5 per year for the next couple of years or so. You give him a $12 million three year deal now, let him have $3 million signing bonus and $3 million per year salary. It's a big bump in pay right now, but makes sure the team holds on to him for a reasonable period of time, and doesn't have to overpay for him if he ends up having a break out year this year. It's better for the cap than $2 / $5 / $5.
This was my thinking as well. Cap friendly and he gets paid. I love this guy and I hope to god we keep him.
