No CB in the passing era should be the highest paid defensive player. He can only cover one guy at a time. The impact on every play is just not there as opposed to an elite DL/pass rusher.

Exactly; would much rather spread out that money on decent-good players than on 1 great one

I disagree. A true lockdown corner doesn't need any safety help which can liberate the safety to do other things. It's almost like having an extra player on the field.

in this day and age I would rather have three solid corners than one All pro. too many spread sets adn the rules are set up where even the elite corners can't really shut down receivers all game...

Spend the money on pressure players and O'Linemen

I'm on my phone so I can't find em now.

But the numbers on the Jets D with and without Revis are staggering.

They're much, much worse without him. The entire D is basically built around him.
