5 years 62 million with 30 guaranteed, way too much he's the 2nd highest paid CB now.

7th, if I recall, if you go by avg. annual amount.

But point taken.

That's too bad but you knew he was gonna get paid. Gregg Williams' players do tend to get paid,

Rams: Return of E.J. Gaines will soften blow of Janoris Jenkins loss

Posted on March 9, 2016 by Vincent Bonsignore

There is no doubt losing starting cornerback Janoris Jenkins hurts the Rams. But if there is a silver lining to Jenkins reportedly leaving for the New York Giants, it’s that the Rams are in good shape depth wise to absorb the loss.

Thanks to an almost forgotten man in the Rams defensive secondary: Third-year corner E.J. Gaines.

The former 6th-round pick out of Missouri missed all of 2015 after suffering a Lisfranc injury in training camp. It was a huge blow both personally and from a team standpoint as Gaines was set to compete with Trumaine Johnson for the starting CB job opposite Jenkins.

Now it appears Gaines and Johnson might just line up together in 2016.

And based on Gaines’ rookie season – in which he ironically stepped in for an injured Johnson and started 15 games – the job could be in strong hands.

Gaines surrendered just one touchdown in 2014 while giving up just 9.6 yards per catch allowed and none over 23 yards. His 14 passes defended was first on the team and he also added two interceptions. His run defense was also strong, as Pro Football Focus assessed Gaines as a Top-5 CB in Runs Stop Percentage. Gaines finished the season with 70 tackles.

Assuming Gaines is healthy, he should more than make up for the loss of Jenkins in the starting line up. And at a fraction of the cost.

Janoris who?

As I tweeted and have believed for a while, whomever the Rams didn't tag would be setting the price for the guy they did tag - Tru. There was just no way they could/would pay both of those guys top corner money., not with Gaines on the roster. That would be plain stupid fiscally. A lot of good corners in this defensively talented draft as well. Draft a guy and move on to other needs.
