1st Darius Leonard at $19.7m/yr as 3x 1st AP and 1x 2nd AP in his 4 year career with 11 INT and 17 FF
2nd CJ Mosley vastly overpaid by the Jets in FA at $17m/yr
3rd Zach Cunningham at $14.5m/yr

So I can't imagine $20m+/yr is happening. He's probably going to end up signing somewhere at $15-16m/yr.

Salaries rise and 2021 was a down year salary wise (year Leonard was paid). We've already seen a large increase in what players are making so 19 to 22m a year for Roquan Smith is not out of the question.

I'd rather see Jessie Bates at 16m than Roquan Smith at 20m. Safety has a high WAR than LB.
