Kenny Vaccaro's long term extension discussion

This is one of the bigger remaining long term priorities is to resign Vaccaro. His 2017 5th year option is 5.6 million roughly. There's a pretty big difference in elite strong safety salaries. Reshad Jones with Dolphins just got paid 12 mill a year average and then next down is Tony Jefferson near 8.5 million then a bunch from 6-7.

I'm thinking the number will likely need be very close or maybe slightly more than the 8.5 number. So say we do a 4 yr extension around 8.75 putting close to 35 million, add his 1 year 5.6 million we have him by the balls so that's around a 5 year 40-41 million dollar extension. Whatever guaranteed and bla bla bla.


Two remaining notes: Malcom Jenkins is at 8.75 and Saints paid byrd few years ago about 9 mill a year.
