If he is as good as PFF indicates, then he deserves a franchise contract. Using 9.0% of the cap for a franchise CB and averaging the future salary cap estimates. He could expect a contract of $64 million for 4 years. imo
Josh Norman just signed a contract for $75 million for 5 years. No wonder the Rams are OK with paying him $13.8 million this year. That is ~9.0% of 155 million. I didn’t think they would pay him that much, but I see now that with the salary cap going up each year and if he is really that good, that is the way things are.

Good analysis. But now, hunches. My hunch is they don’t sign him, they replace him next year. I like Tru but I don’t have the impression that he’s a “top 8 keeper” type player.
And, I think these coaches can take spare parts from a garage sale and manufacture a good secondary out of it.
Yeah, they can probably find a cheaper player at CB that will be able to play well enough to give the Rams enough value to let Johnson walk. It is all about getting value for your cap dollars and they have to decide how to spend them.
