Again...
The last truly elite corners that signed big deals while in their prime we’re Patrick Peterson and Josh Norman.
PP signed his last deal (an extension) in 2014 for 5 years for 70 million when the salary cap was 133m. That’s an average of 14m per. That’s 10.52% of cap.
Josh Norman signed a deal for 5 years, 75m in 2016 when the cap was 155m. That’s 9.6% of the cap. 36% of the deal was fully guaranteed.
Jalen is arguably a better player than those guys...at least the equivalent, IMO and deserves to not only be the highest paid corner, but the highest paid corner in % to the cap.
If we were to trade for him, the deal that would make the most sense to both sides would be a 3 year EXTENSION for 10.6% of the current salary cap. That would lock up Ramsey till 2023.
That means his fair value is 19.68m per year x 3.
59.05 for 3 years. 36% of that is roughly 22m which I would expect to be a signing bonus that would be split between the 4 years at 5.5m per in dead money. [Reply]
I’ve said it before but I think they made their play with jones already. If he wants Donald money, let someone else pay that. Take the picks (hell you might get 2 1’s for him) and move on
I like having cornerstones at every level. You’d have Ramsey at 24 for 4 prime years at cb?
