re: Saints restructure Janoris Jenkins; Update it’s a 3 year deal

Katherine Terrell just said 4 voidable years

Yeah I just heard that

That means they really didn't want to give him any money past this year
Still think we need a 3rd corner

I think people are way sleeping on how great Delpit is gonna be. This dude played through injury all season long, still managed to win the Jim Thorpe award for best DB in the nation and did it in an era when most guys would've sat thru the season to save his draft stock(he was considered a likely future top 10 pick this time last year). But before this injury plagued season, he looked like the best and most complete safety to come out of DBU in my lifetime. He was a better prospect than Jamal Adams in my opinion.

People forget how dynamic he is when he is 100%. Dude is a 6'3 safety, with insane length, athleticism and instincts and can play either safety position. He can line up anywhere in the defense. Dave Aranda played him everywhere imaginable. He is physical unlike Williams, can play man coverage effectively and is a turnover machine. I remember one game where Aranda kept him close to the LOS the entire game and Delpit just lived in the backfield getting sacks and TFLs. He makes big plays everywhere. Seems like a good kid, did everything perfect in college.

If by some miracle Delpit drops to 24, the Saints better run to the podium. He will without a doubt be the best talent on the board.

Yup that works out perfectly. So bad info originally.

We need a 3rd outside cb regardless, but we do still have incentive to resign him before FA next year.

If we can get him at a decent price it avoids the full $7.2 mil hit for a player we don't have next year for $1.8 mil + whatever new money hit for a player we do have.

If he plays well enough I can definitely see us giving him a 2 year deal next year (with the extra 2 void years still being there and allowing us to spread his new contract out also).

2 voidable years

That doesn't work.

$9 mil ÷ 5 years = $1.8 mil per year.

$1.8 mil × 4 voidable years = $7.2 mil

You have to spread the signing bonus evenly. So unless they did some other weird shuffling I believe the 4 years.

Edit:
The math if it was only 2 void years adds up to only $6 mil saved this year/added to those years. It just doesn't work.

Faced with a big cap number for CB Janoris Jenkins, the #Saints chose to sign him to an extension that could keep him in the fold in the future: It’s a 2-year, $16.75M extension based on new money, source said. So, 3 years, $27M overall with $10.2M guaranteed — all in 2020.

2 very affordable years as well

I agree with you on delpit
I just think other positions need to be filled first
You have 3 good safeties now

I know you take bpa and I love delpit as a player
Reminds me of the derwin james situation

Stephone Anthony was a starter for the saints too

If you think Stephone Anthony and Marcus Williams are in the same stratosphere of quality you either don't watch games or are extremely biased against Marcus Williams.

Stephone played on a crappy defense of teams going 7-9, he would not have started almost anywhere else. Marcus has been starting on the best NFC team over the last 3 years, and would start on almost any team in the NFL. Huge difference between "starting" and being a "starter."

I'm not saying Delpit won't be better but there is absolutely no way to know how he translates to the NFL before he has taken a snap.
