Base salary:
2024-$1.210 million—less than $1 million 8 weeks in
2025: $16 million
2026-$16.5 million
Assuming we only have to pay the base salary, that’s not even top 10 Corner money for a legit top 10 caliber corner.
Roland-Wallace, Nazeeh and Williams are making me a little nervous. They don’t seem to be capable starters. FA market looks a little low right now as well.
I think we would be picking a CB in the top 100 picks anyway, so getting one for 2 years after this year at a fair price seems pretty solid to me.

An extension of McDuffie is gonna be backloaded and will likely be a 5 year deal that is basically a 4 year add on to the last year of the rookie contract. Don’t think 2026 or 20207 will be expensive years for McDuffie [Reply]

This. Lattimore $ would be coming off the books just as you start paying McDuffie top tier CB money. [Reply]

Yeah I'd be curious to know if Lattimores injury happened late when the game was no longer in doubt. May have been a mutual agreement between GM/Coach we lose this game we are selling some pieces. Get Lattimore the hell outta there before a legit serious injury costs us a nice draft pick for the future. [Reply]
Looks like we have $5.1M in cap space after the Taylor restructure. Lattimores base is $1.2 with a 13M signing bonus. Some cap gurus correct me if I’m wrong but that signing bonus stays with the Saints if he is traded and the Chiefs pay the remaining owed on the $1.2m base and his remaining years are voided? [Reply]

Would love Lattimore and we really need some extra support at Corner but i think Lattimore's contract and the draft capital it would take just make it too unrealistic for us.
There are other players though i think we could target. We don't need a world beater, we need someone solid and affordable. Judging of Nazeeh Johnson and Williams performance, there is a lot better out there.
My pick... call up the Browns for Greg Newsome. Two years left on that rookie contract. [Reply]
