I guess that I am the only one who thinks Tavon’s contract isn’t excessive. Of course he has to perform, that is true of any player, but I think he will. For me that is 8-10 TDs in any form. I see Barron’s contract as more out of line that Tavon’s, but they both are livable. I find it a bit strange that we can pay Barron 9m/yr, Tavon 10.5m/yr, Brockers 11m/yr, Johnson 16.7m for this year, but we couldn’t pay Jenkins 12.5m/yr when Jenkins is the only player to go to the pro bowl.
AgamemnonEarly in the negotiations, Jenkins broke off cause he said they basically insulted him and he was going to the open market. They probably tried a bit harder not to insult the next players. I haven’t constructed any time lines for this theory. 😉

for me it’s not a matter of the contract. it’s a matter of fit. tavon will not fit this offense. this offense will require him to be a wide receiver which he is not. he’s something else.
and no. i don’t believe mcvay will try to accomodate him.
Janoris Jenkins Contract: Latest News and Rumors on Negotiations With Rams
Joseph Zucker
July 27, 2015With Janoris Jenkins set to become a free agent following the 2015 season, the St. Louis Rams are working behind the scenes to re-sign the 26-year-old cornerback to a long-term extension.

Rams, Jenkins Looking for Agreement Before Start of Season
Monday, July 27NFL Network’s Rand Getlin reported Monday that Jenkins and the Rams are currently working out the details on a contract extension. He added the cutoff date for negotiations may be the start of the regular season:
Jenkins and his representatives would like to get a deal done with the #Rams by the time the season starts. Optimism that could happen.

If Jenkins and the #Rams can't come to terms on an extension by then, he'd likely play out the season and re-visit his contract in January.

Jenkins is just one of a few Rams players set to become an unrestricted free agent next summer. Nick Foles, Brian Quick, William Hayes and Trumaine Johnson all fall into that category as well. St. Louis isn’t limited to negotiating with just one player at a time, but the front office will likely prioritize which players it targets first.
A knee injury kept Jenkins out for two games last year. In 14 appearances, he recorded 59 total tackles and two interceptions, one of which he returned 99 yards for a touchdown.
Given the fact Jenkins has made 43 regular-season starts over the past three years, the Rams will surely want to ensure a new deal will be agreed upon before the 2015 season gets underway. He’s a key member of the secondary.
Then again, Jenkins could decide to bet on himself a bit and hope a strong campaign nets him a bigger contract once free agency begins.
AgamemnonJanoris Jenkins expresses contract frustrations on Twitter
Nick WagonerESPN Staff Writer
EARTH CITY, Mo. — The Los Angeles Rams’ efforts to keep cornerback Janoris Jenkins from hitting the free-agent market have repeatedly come up short.
On Sunday evening, Jenkins took to Twitter to let the world know of his frustration with the team’s inability to meet his asking price.
Jenkins went so far as to term the Rams’ overtures as “disrespectful.”
Total disrespect when u held down one side all 4 years and force the ball the other way.. #ThanksButNoThanks

Jenkins and the Rams have been talking about a new contract for more than a year, but he now looks poised to at least test the market unless the Rams decide to use the franchise or transition tag on him rather than fellow cornerback Trumaine Johnson. The Rams were believed to be offering around $7-8 million annually to Jenkins before he broke off contract negotiations after the team’s Week 6 bye last year.
“I gave them up until the bye week,” Jenkins said then. “They knew what was going on. I told them anything after the bye week, I ain’t listening, I don’t want to hear it. I want to focus on football. The bye week is gone, so I just want to play football.”
The Rams and Jenkins’ representatives restarted talks near the end of the season, and although the Rams upped their offer a little bit, it still hasn’t been enough to get Jenkins to sign a new long-term deal. Jenkins is believed to be looking for contract that starts in the vicinity of the $10.5 million per year that Byron Maxwell got from the Philadelphia Eagles in free agency last year.
Contract talks with Jenkins have stalled for now, though, after Jenkins recently parted ways with agent Malik Shareef. NFLPA rules stipulate that a player cannot hire a new agent until a five-day window has passed. CBSSports.com reported that Jenkins’ new agents will be Neil Schwartz and Jonathan Feinsod, who also represent Jets cornerback Darrelle Revis.
That means Jenkins should have new agents in place before the start of the two-day “legal tampering” period which begins next Monday but not before Tuesday’s deadline to use the franchise or transition tag. ESPN’s Adam Caplan reported that the new agents could be in place on Thursday.
AgamemnonJanoris Jenkins isn’t happy with the way contract negotiations played out
It does not look like Jenkins is long for the Rams.Janoris Jenkins is a free agent. He spent the first four years of his career with the St. Louis Rams, playing in 60 of a possible 64 games and starting 58 of them. He has 10 interceptions in that time, and he returned a league-leading (tied with William Gay and Aqib Talib) five of them for touchdowns.
Is he one of the best corners in the league? No. Is he an above-average one? Yeah, probably, especially given his steady improvement over the course of his career. Is he happy with the way his contract negotiations with the now-Los Angeles Rams have gone? Definitely not. Just take a look at his Twitter feed over the last week or so.

Obviously he was unhappy with whatever offer came from the Rams. And then he reportedly fired his agent. There’s now a five-day waiting period before he can hire another agent, which means any chance of him being retained by the Rams via the franchise tag is likely gone as well, unless Jenkins plans to negotiate that deal himself. If they use the tag at all, it seems likely Trumaine Johnson will be the recipient.
That means Jenkins will likely hit the open market, and you never know what can happen there. He’s probably one of the top-10 or so cornerbacks available. His propensity to make big plays could garner a big offer, but his gambling nature that also leads him to give up big plays could depress his market if teams decide to go with safer options.
AgamemnonJanoris Jenkins fires his agent, during negotiations with Rams
Posted by Darin Gantt on February 29, 2016, 8:37 AM EDTThe Rams want to keep both of their free agent cornerbacks, and are expected to use the franchise tag on one of them.
It might have to be Janoris Jenkins, since he doesn’t have anyone to negotiate for him at the moment.
According to Gary Klein of the Los Angeles Times, Jenkins has fired his agent. Per NFLPA rules, there’s a five-day window before another agent can be hired. It’s unclear when Jenkins made the switch, starting that clock. His agent is still listed on the union’s website as Malik Hafeez Shareef.
Ostensibly he could negotiate for himself like Russell Okung, but there hasn’t been any indication he wants to do that.
With the franchise tag a possibility for either him or cornerback Trumaine Johnson, and with the tag deadline Tuesday, it complicates things for the Rams, and may complicate their efforts to keep both.
AgamemnonI hope they don’t screw up Donald. I hope they get it right. You know back then they signed CB for 5m/yr. and ended up cutting him that same year.
When Watt signed his extension he was the highest paid defensive player at 16.7m/yr. Looks like a bargain now. 😉
I don’t mind paying when a player out performs his contract. I don’t mind cutting them when they under perform. What is fair is fair. imo
Agamemnonthey signed CB for 5m/yr. and ended up cutting him that same year.
On March 14, 2016, Sensabaugh signed a three-year, $15 million contract with the Los Angeles Rams.[5] On October 8, 2016, he was cut by the Rams.[6]
That cost $6.5M. Money totally wasted.
