We should not overpay him. He’s a good player who’s had some good moments, but he’s not worth the top 10 DB money he’s likely to fetch

He will not fetch close to top 10 DB money.. At $17mil he would be the 20th highest paid CB and the 27th highest paid DB. That's before others get paid next offseason. Paying him $16mil puts him as the 32nd highest paid DB.

We can pay him $17mil and he wouldn't be a top 32 paid DB after DB contracts next offseason.

Alontae will get $13mil-18mil with $18mil on the high side. The top 10 DB's avg $25mil a year. Its not really close.

Dude coached a bunch of JAGs to a top 10 defense. I'll trust him over my fellow keyboard warrior, but you do you


Bunch of jags?

Somehow this became a narrative on this board, but it simply isn’t true at all. The Saints defense is VERY talented. Davis is the best MLB in the league. Chase Young is a beast. Cam still produces. The secondary is talented and has depth. There are probably 20-25 teams that would gladly swap defensive rosters with the Saints.
