I said the same in another thread he will get paid wherever he goes why not take a little less jack for a shot at a super bowl
Let me add I hope this don't happen but if I was Aaron I'd consider it

There's just no way they buy the BS fisher is selling anymore. I really really really hope we can retain our studs but I won't be surprised if they want to leave.

Way more than, he needs to put a decade+ of high level play to be in that chatter unless there's some sort of tragedy.

He is only in his 3rd year. He needs at a bare bones minimum another 5 years of this kind of performance to have any shot. Factor in that he is playing (at least now) on a losing franchise, that does not help his cause.
That being said, I have few doubts he will ultimately be a RAM Hall of Famer with at least 3 rings.

Hopefully those extra years will be enough to create a winning team worth resigning long-term to.

But doesn't he have a couple more years left on his original contract? Are we getting ahead of ourselves right now? However, money talks and a really successful team(s) will draw his interest. The only way he stays is because he sees light at the end of the tunnel with this team. Right now is seems awful dark in that tunnel.

To be honest I like looking to the future ... I'm not a cap / contracts kinda guy ... plus I have separation anxiety and would end up a blubbering mess if we lost AD

The Rams won't be able to afford 3 straight years of Franchise tagging because of the mandatory 20% raise or whatever it is. The costs escalate rather exorbitantly rather quickly. He'd be at or near $30M per by the end if not more and there's no way I think the Rams could absorb that kind of cap hit.
In order for AD to stay, the Rams are going to have to win and give him and others a reason to stay.
As we've seen in multiple stories about players who've left the Rams since Fisher's been here... there's not a "culture of winning" here. Once guys get to places where it is, they experience a bit of a culture shock which is understandable.
We need a HC to install that "culture of winning". Pretty sure that in his 5th year, Fisher's not the guy.

A few quick things per his original contract:
2017 -next year is year 4 and is locked
2018- Rams will assert his 5th year option at the end of this year (teams have to decide after third year) that will be aobut $7mil (those outside the top 10 receive a one year contract for an average of the 3rd through 25th highest salaries)
2019 - first year the rams would need to tag him (for 2016 it was about $13.4mil , safe to assume that $15mil is likely)
2020 - second year of tag would be $18 mil+
Note that a player can only be tagged 2 times, also note the 5th year option does NOT count as tagging player.
It is important to note that tagging him means the Rams don't have that option for other players so they would in theory be tying their hands.

Lock this guy up. If he stays healthy I've never seen a more obvious first ballot HOF guy. I know - hes only been in the league 2 years! That's how much of a freak he is.
