Now he's pissy about Peterson's desire to get paid. Damn Sherman...quit getting your panties in a bunch over everything that happens. Everything isn't all about you

“I’m definitely observant of what [Sherman] got. Obviously by him being the highest paid cornerback, the goal for the guys that come after him is to be higher than him. I believe he set the table pretty high, and me and my agent have some work to do.”


WTF is he supposed to say? "Nah, I don't want more money"

Only way to shut him up is on the field.

I'm certain that won't work either. Dude can't help himself. Now he's involving himself in someone else's money.

The Corner market is almost as bloated as the QB market when you take into account the return on investment

Not sure what that means, but the quarterback can choose to throw to any of 3,4 or 5 receivers on any given play, but a corner can only cover 1.

Been saying this, it has definantly changed over the past few year because Corner has become even harder to play so a good one is worth more. However their impact on the game is still limited when compared to D-line or safety

There are an average of 4 (making that up in my head) players down field during a pass attempt in the NFL.

If you pay a guy $15 dollars like Joe Haden that locks down #1 guys like AJ Green, he is essntially covering 1/4 of the field.

The rest of the field is covered by the 5-6 other players in the defensive backfield.

That's why they get paid so much.

It's much easier to cover 3 receivers with 6 guys, than to try to cover 4 guys with 7.

I disagree with this statement as read. They are really damn important. Someone like Sherman or Peterson allow you to go one on one with most teams #1 receiver, so you can shift coverage to the other guys. (Obviously cant do that with the elite receivers).

However, the problem with paying one corner that kind of money is that eventually you cant afford other very valuable defensive positions.

Sherman is the best corner in the league right now, Peterson isn't. I don't see anything wrong with a little trash talk between pro athletes.

I'm not trying to discredit their importance. I've seen first hand what kind of impact one #1 corner can have on a defense

I'm just saying it's a similar situation to QB market, the price tags are bloated at the top which will bloat the price for the low level corners as well. Unlike with QBs, I think the bubble could definitely burst at some point


It's also funny how they've exploded the contacts for corners so soon after the owners colluded to drive their market cold after the lockout last year

Well that's obvious, but all the dude was saying is CBs today are are extremely highly paid, just like QBs.

I think that one needs to factor in that there are two CBs on the field at a time, so it makes it a bit different than QBs.

Also, there are different schools of thought for DBs/coverage that make lock down corners less valuable to many teams that run a Tampa 2 type style.

I think that CBs that can lock down number 1 guys will be highly paid, but it don't think that it will bloat the market in that if they don't have that skill they aren't worth the money and are a dime a dozen.

Starting caliber QBs aren't a dime a dozen, and back-ups get paid a much lower wage as will second tier CBs.

ETA: Tampa 2 et al, that focus on zone coverage.
