I will base my happiness with his contract on his destruction of the AFC North in two playoff games where both teams knew they were getting Arian and could do nothing about it.
OK I concede I somewhat exaggerated, but try this hypothetical: instead of re-upping Foster with the huge contract, we extend Tate who is 2 years younger than Foster with a contract that's only a fraction of what Foster got, keep both Winston and Briesel which of course would keep our OLine fully intact, and trade Foster for a player(s) and/or Draft picks ?
