Last year he regressed quite a bit.The article that I read said he was rated the number 7 CB in the NFL. Not to disputing the facts RainMaker provided. Highlighting how hard it is to determine a players capability.
He was bad last year because of the head coach. ;-)

Looks like only $2 million of his 2022 salary is guaranteed? That is not as favorable from a Patriots standpoint
At this point in the off-season, I would be very surprised if he was offered a contract with $20 million of guaranteed money in 2022. If he is willing to bet on himself to have a bounce-back year, he is probably better off signing a one-year deal before entering free agency again at age 29 next offseason (with a “no franchise” clause). For instance, if he signs of one-year deal for $10-12 million (fully guaranteed), he will have $12-14 million of guaranteed money in his pocket. The team signing him can add a couple of void years to the contrast, to reduce his 2022 cap number.
Here is the remaining cap space for all but the bottom few teams (wouldn’t fit on the screen). Keep in mind that many teams have already spent most, if not all, of their free agency budget already, multiple teams have capped out the number of meaningful contract restructurings and the cornerback-needy teams have already addressed the position during the draft their cornerback needs in the draft, at least partially.
Compare that to the projected cap space for 2023.

That is not to say that he won’t receive several multiyear offers in the coming days. He likely will, but yes he performs at a 2020 level this year, his earning potential next off-season is much higherThat is not to say that he won’t receive several multiyear offers in the coming days.

Maybe not but just in the past 2 years he’s had 35 PD’s and 7 INT’s.No way this guy is worth 10-12 mill a year.
PDs are meaningless out of context. If you are thrown at all day long you are going to have PDs and also allow a lot of plays. 7 ints in 2 years for a starting corner is not that good.Maybe not but just in the past 2 years he’s had 35 PD’s and 7 INT’s.

I’m not one of those people who discounts some stats to prop up an argument. So and so has 100 yards rushing but 1 of those runs was for 50 yards…so take that away and his day wasn’t so great. If he had 35 PD’s at CB1 in 2 years playing against the top WR’s in the league…then he had 35 PD’s in 2 years playing against the top WR’s in the league.

35 PDs against 35 completions is not the same as 35 PDs against 135 completions. It’s only common sense. A high # of PDs is not a necessarily positive statistic. It like saying a corner made 12 tackles. That’s not very good if that means he allowed 12 catches.I’m not one of those people who discounts some stats to prop up an argument.

You know I won’t argue…this is my last response.
The Pats don't have enough cap space to sign their putrid draft class, let alone anyone who could actually, you know, help the team.
It seems like BB is intent on throwing 2022 away, and hopes for better in 2023
Are you a Yankees fan because this is classic entitled snowflake NY ****e. Spoiled, sackless fans.The Pats don't have enough cap space to sign their putrid draft class, let alone anyone who could actually, you know, help the team.
