He’s a really good corner

He's on a 7th rounders contract.
Talk to him, sure. But if he takes anything less than what Ward got, he'd be silly.
We still have him under contract next season so he'd still be mitigating a little risk by signing early, but ultimately he just looks for all the world like he's another solid, healthy season away from a $50 million deal.
Now the other thing for US to consider is that he, like Sneed, is a little overaged as a prospect. He was 24 as a rookie so he's maybe not the best gamble long-term as his extension wouldn't even kick in until 28.
Cuts both ways -- does he really want to test the FA market as a 28 year old CB expecting to get a 3-4 year deal? Or would he rather sign early, lock in say $33 million and potentially leave a little money on the table?
