He's got 3 years left on his rookie deal (including the almost guaranteed 5th year option). With the cap space they have, any free agents they sign this year likely wont affect their situation with Mack, and with their need to use a lot of money this offseason they are the most likely candidates to overpay FAs
Yeah I totally get what you're saying, but still.,.
I guess what I was trying to say in a really vague way was that a 14 million dollar offer to Janoris will have huge implications further on down the road when it comes to guys like Cooper, Carr, and Mack and whomever other stars they draft -- they will always have that precedent of the Janoris Jenkins contract to negotiate with. Imagine if he sucks next season, hypothetically any other CB free agent or other will have their rep say "my client had better numbers than Jenkins and you paid this, we want 15"
That's why I'm thinking talk of 14 million for Janoris is not happening
The Rams are the prudent ones and we have nice cap space too - but the Rams have decided not to be insane and offer Janoris 14 mil, let alone 10.5
I'm only suggesting nothing says you have to overpay just cause you have the cap space
I bet some players - like Janoris - are gonna be disappointed when the offers don't come in as high as they imagined - don't get me wrong I think someone will overpay and it might even be the Rams,
but 14 million? I say "no way"
