I'm pretty sure that is over the max for 1 player

I assume this is a troll post, but a bad team giving up 4 firsts for a rental is a pretty terrible idea, regardless of how good they are or the AAV.

His QO the year after would be too high to qualify.

Robertsons a good player but wow that would be beyond foolish. Not even the 20 million, just simply offer sheeting him in the 4 1st round pick range in general.

First of all max contract cap hit is 15.9 mil so 20 mil cannot happen. 2nd there isn't a player in the league worth offersheeting for 4 1sts. This isn't the NBA, a star player can't carry the whole team on their back.
