Would have had to pay Bell into age 30 season. VB ends up the latest example.
Julian Love. About to turn 25. PFF's 6th rated free agent safety.
6. S JULIAN LOVE
Contract projection: Available in PFF's free agency rankings
Love offers a diverse skill set as a defensive back who can serve as a ball hawk in the deep third and make plays down in the box. He was also a player the New York Giants trusted in the slot. He played by far the most snaps in his career in 2022 (1,006) and earned a career-high 71.5 coverage grade in the process.
Love is a good tackler in space, with his 80 tackles in 2022 the seventh most among safeties and his six missed tackles the second fewest among safeties in the top 25 in total tackles.
