Depends, does he prove it? Does he start playing on the outside? The rumor was we offered him around 8.5 but we wanted a multi year deal. He got 5 because he wanted a one year deal. Even if he plays really well and is only worth let’s say 12, the tag acts as a place holder to try and get a longer term deal.
As the cap goes up a guy who we thought was worth 8.5 this year at the same level is probably worth 10 next. If he does get substantial outside time this year by either way of injury to Dre or out performing him it’s not out of the question. Remember that a new coaching staff may be more open to a truly open CB competition.
