idk about that. That seems to be the market now with guys like collins and MAthiue getting 14/yr. and Amos had a better season than Collins this past season
I think Collins got paid based on name recognition. He is definitely limited. I get Amos' versatility and all, but GB wants to use him as a FS. He can play different roles for a certain amount of time, but he isn’t a true FS. Fangio knew how to use Amos and he did not pay to get Amos at that price in Denver either. Amos needs to be paired with a ball hawk. The reports on the trade from like PFF etc are totally overblown. They said Amos doesn't make mistakes. I remember plenty he has made here. The contract was reported as ~12M per (4yrs 47M) by Shefty initially, a couple others after say 9M per which is better. I think his true value is not over 8M.
If Amos destroys us when we play GB then you guys can call me on my take, but I think Pace did the right thing not overpaying him in this market.
