$14 million a year is actually way less than I thought he would want or get

Lots of ways to work the $ and guarantees, but it looks like $14mm annually puts him in the Patrick Peterson, Richard Sherman, Desmond Trufant neighborhood...

Thanks for the update, Guru! Very exciting news for sure. Getting Xavier signed is a must.

I think that might be the kind of money he would expect if he hit unrestricted free agency next March, but the cost should be lower under these circumstances, right? He'l get a raise over his 2017 salary (more money sooner) and get some guarantees ahead of this season (when he could get hurt). 

@"JimmyinSD" said: Hes among the top CBs,  but  he isnt a rewrite the salary brackets, top paid in the league type of DB.  Not trying to dis X,  he plays the spot great, but he typically doesn't have to cover very long with our front 7 and the defense that Zim dials up. QBs aren't sitting on many routes to come open before they go looking elsewhere.

But the scheme and other players on a defense don't usually get factored in, do they? Brandon Browner got overpaid 2 years ago despite everyone knowing he was more product of the team he played on. I think a player would actually get angered if a team implied they were a "product of the system/team".

We need to sign Rhodes.

We have to start keeping our players that are solid. We can't keep letting them test the waters thinking they will come back home. 

Isn't that the whole reason many wanted to cut peterson before?
