There's no way you let your defensive MVP walk after this season. They'll get a long-term deal done--at a premium, now--or they'll franchise him again. Whoever signs him has to be mindful of the age implications, anyway, and Dallas is resourceful about paying their own when it's warranted--sometimes too resourceful.
This is a deal we should have bit the bullet and extended two years ago.

ignoring the FACT that he was not playing this well last year OR the year before. Only Jerruh would do that kind of deal.
