C.J. Gardner-Johnson has limited his activity in recent practices as he seeks a new contract, per source.

One of the league’s top slot cornerbacks, Gardner-Johnson is entering the final year of his contract.

Pay him… he has every right after seeing the “business side” of thing during the Watson trade rumors. He has earned it as well.

Maybe I'm reading it wrong, but isn't Taylor sorta his replacement?

He’s most likely not getting any type of big contract. I think that’s why they drafted Taylor. It gives them more flexibility if he asks for too much money. It’s unfortunate because he’s a fan favorite but I think they are already investing a ton into their secondary.

He’s a guy you gotta find a way to keep. Sign him now are he will be too expensive next year.

He’s a playmaker and changes things for the defense. Those guys don’t come around often. Plus, he’s a fan favorite. As soon as he signs an extension, I’m ordering my Ceedy-Duce jersey!

I'm not sure what you pay him. Guess the top slot corners are probably reasonable

quote:

Per Over the Cap, the current highest-paid slot cornerback in the NFL on a per-year basis is 2019 Detroit Lions signee Justin Coleman. He inked a four-year, $36 million deal that pays him $9 million on average, edging out Baltimore Ravens cornerback Tavon Young ($8.6 million per year) and the recently signed Chris Harris Jr. ($8.5 million per year). Yet, all those players hover around 20th overall in average salary at the cornerback position.

Our defense seems to really fall down a few notches when he isn't on the field. No reason to drag this out. Pay the man.

You definitely pay him but don't be surprised if the saints number is way lower than what he wants.

I could see this one dragging out.

How awkward must it be right now to pick activities to participate and which to sit out?

Pay him. He brings energy to the defense. You need to find a way to pay him. Loomis work your magic!

Pay him. Flat out. Make this happen. He flies to the ball, always amped up and talks JUST enough trash to frustrate and fluster offenses.

Can't wait to watch the defense this year. I'm excited about Olave and Landry but man am I pumped to watch this secondary.

He's one of those players that you don't want to see on the other side of the field.

I’m ok with over-paying in certain situations. This is absolutely one. His demeanor on the field is worth the money. frick the stats. Pay that man.

(Just imagine him being on the Falcons or Bucs or… ugh, Cowboys.)

You wanna play against that?

I think Saints have to pay him. Esp. After using him as trade bait.
