Open to extension is one thing.
Doesn't mean he won't try to put the price that threw the roof.
I'd be surprised if he signed an extension during the season, if he continues to put up these sack numbers, he's going to have a lot of offers. I don't know who his agent is, but he'll probably wait it out.

Right now, on average salary, he's the 6th highest paid DE this season.
Watt leads at over $16MM per, with Mario Williams at $16MM and then Robert Quinn at $14MM.
Talent wise he's the top of the heap, but his off the field issues and the fact he can be a loose cannon has to be factored in.
Watt's deal was 6 years, $100MM with $51MM guaranteed. Hardy shouldn't get more than that.
Quinn's deal seems like a better comp............. 4 years, $57MM with $41MM guaranteed.
The obvious question is what is he asking for?
If it's an outrageous number, pound sand, Greg.
It's going to be an outrageous number.
In the NFL you pay QB's, guys that protect QB's, and guys that get to QB's.
He's in for a big payday.
