    Split the difference, offer him 9-10m a year, with a shit load guaranteed, maybe 20M for "services rendered"

    Top 5 RB? He IS the top RB in the NFL right now. I might not pay him like Adrian Peterson or Chris Johnson just yet until he has another season or so like the one he is currently putting together, but I'd pay him like a top 5 running back.
