I'm thinking it's time to try to extend Sherman. Look at all the FA deals CB's are getting:
Aqib Talib: 6 years/57 million. 26 guaranteed. 9.5 mil/year
Vontae Davis: 4 years/39 million. 20 guaranteed. 9.75 mil/year
Alterraun Verner 4 yrs/ 26.5 mil 14 guaranteed. 6.62 mil/year (STEAL !)
Revis is about to be cut because no one wants to pay him 16 mil/year.
So, the top CBs in the league are getting just short of 10 mil/year. Should we sign Sherm to an offer of around 10 mil/year ? Last year, lots on this site were talking about a "hometown discount" and hoping we'd get Sherm for 10-12 mil/year. With the cap going up, this looks extremely doable, especially if Sherm takes more guaranteed money for say, 9-9.5 mil/year.
The downside is that Jairus Byrd just got 6 years 56 million, and a whopping 28 million guaranteed. With the cap expected to go up significantly next year, looks like Thomas is going to get his big payday he was rumored to be after.
