Quote:I'd absolutely love for Prince to get a new contract.

 

He isn't a star (few are), but as a #2 he's good. He probably wont wow you much and he'll definitely get beat a time, or two. That's just this day and age of NFL football though. Everybody is going to get beat eventually, regardless of just how great they are.

 

I don't believe he'd demand a huge contract, but a modest contract over maybe 3 years? Give or take.

The above link shows the current average salary for CBs this year. Josh Norman being the highest at $15m. Jimmy Smith for the Ravens is #10 on the list at just shy of $10.3m

 

Chris Harris and Kareem Jackson come in at #19, with $8.5m

 

Prince is currently #32 on the list, making $5.5m this year.

 

That link gives you a full list of what the CBs are making this year. I just posted a couple quick ones for arguments sake.

 

My guess would be something in the $7-10m per year range?

 

Quote:After a quick check at the 2017 free agent corner list, there aren't many good young corners scheduled to hit free agency, so I think his value will be inflated a bit more than usual. I'd guess an AAV somewhere in the neighborhood of $6.5-8million, perhaps a 4 year $30million deal. I don't think his injury history will play a big factor on the years or total dollar value, but will on the guaranteed money.

 

  Thanks to both of you and everyone for your input in this thread.

 

  The injury history would be my primary concern if in the Jaguars position.   Maybe a heavily front loaded type of contract might be the best way for the Jaguars to proceed.  Especially, since the team is expected to be in great shape salary cap wise for 2017.
