“From what I know of the situation, and I know from some people who are in the know that he’s been offered five years, $175 million,” NFL QB-turned-analyst Chris Simms told 105.3 The Fan’s “K & C Masterpiece” on Tuesday. “He wants a four-year deal. If they do agree to a five-year deal they would like a really big number at the end of that fifth year to cover their butts for what the market might be at the position five years from now. And I’ve heard he’s asking for somewhere like north of $45 million in that fifth year.”

$45 million for another 8-8 season seems like a lot of money for Jerry Jones to throw away.  Andy Dalton is probably looking like a really good option.
