bp, that is correct. He will be an FA after this coming season, and he has asked the Jets for a contract that averages to about 16 million per year. He is the best corner I have seen in years--maybe since Deion--when he was healthy. And there is nothing that says he cannot return to top form. However, if we pay him 16 million we can count on losing two of our big three of Aldon, Crab, and Kap when they come due. And to trade a 1st and 3rd for a 1-year deal would be the height of folly. There is also no way I would trade for him unless it was a sign and trade where the contract was in place and we liked the deal.

We need a top corner. He would instantly make our defense significantly better.

We cannot afford 16 million per year.
