NO DOUBT that he would sign for more than 1 year because his value can easily drop back down if Shanny decides not to use him or get him the ball enough..
Can you imagine if this guy runs for over 1400 yards he'll be a hot commodity..
4 years for $8m up to $12m. Or 1 year at 2-3.5 and then free agency.
If he signs the 4 year deal, he can be franchised and make it a 6 year deal for $42m and no guarantees.
He signs the 1 year deal then can negotiate with a bigger salary cap, and he would be ok with a $12m(?) Franchise tag. Or he gets to test FA. Even if it is a tad more than coleman he still gets way more than 4 years $10ish million. The floor would likely be 4yrs $16m, making this a 5yr $19m move at the bottom. If he goes off like mostert last year he could get 3yr $18m next offseason(plus fluff at the end)
BUT that's the point... Shanny will not allow him to be a STAR so other team will benefit.. he'll use him and will keep him at bay so that even if he test the water, he'll come to realization that he'll put up big numbers in SF because of Kyle's run scheme.. and really, do you see any other team giving him that 20 million deal?
