The most recent extensions have been Jones for 5 years 82.5 million (16.5 AAV), Slay for 3 years 50.5 million (16.68 AAV), White for 4 years 70 million (17.5 AAV), Humphrey for 5 years 98.75 million (19.75 AAV), and Ramsey for 5 years 105 million (21 AAV).

I don't think WJIII is at their level, but he is better than the average cornerback. I'd say he's around a Bradley Roby or Desmond Trufant level, both of whom got around 11 to 12 million AAV.

So that's where I'd start with WJIII. Since it's an extension, maybe they treat him well to persuade him not to hit the open market and offer him 13 AAV. Say a 4 year 52 million dollar contract or something along those lines.

Of course, this assumes a typical off season. With declining revenue due to COVID, I have no idea how the market will work. Maybe contracts will go down across the league since, presumably, the cap will lower as well. With a lot of teams right at the cap, maybe the off season won't be nearly as high paying as it was in 2020.

So maybe we can nab him on a 1 year deal for 9 or 10 million to give him a chance to see the 2022 off season. Hopefully, by then, the cap will increase again and then we can go with the 13 AAV contract.
