I know you don't want to hear it but if you aren't going to pay D. Jackson top 5 CB money then you need to trade him

Jackson has been action this year, I am happy for him, he is going to get PAID as his rookie contract was second round money. Thing is, this is the PEAK value of Jackson on a team that has a surplus of CBs (Bouye, Gilmore, Horn, Henderson). You have to trade him, you can get possibly a great interior lineman for him from a CB needy team. If you aren't prepared to pay him top 5, then he his representation will get it elsewhere and then what? Another loss of a Class A asset for no return like Bradberry, Norman.

 

I like Jackson, like his speed and chip on the shoulder mentality but I am also very hesitant on contract year superstars (Mario Williams, Nnamdi Asomugha, Marcell Dareus, Byron Maxwell, Albert Haynesworth)

To who? We’ve been stacking up 1st round CBS like firewood while everyone else had the same opportunity to go and get them. Fitterer already stated multiple times that they’d like to resign Donte, and he isn’t like Rhule with the double speak. Let’s just enjoy, for a brief moment, the possibility that CB is finally a strength for the first time in years, if ever. 
 

Donte has been one of the brightest spots in the rebuild so far. He went from a know it all brat to a vocal team leader in less than two seasons. A lot of that was coaching from Snow and Rhule. We’d be crazy not to try and keep him here and Fitterer has given every indication that’s the plan.

Out of the top 10 highest paid corners, only one is under 6ft tall and that is Tre’Devious White. He is 5’11 and pushing close to 200lbs. I don’t think that is a coincidence.

I think Donte’s size will keep him from getting top 5 money. Donte will probably land in the 15 million per range which funny enough is where James Bradberry landed.

And also will land him on a different roster like Bradberry.   Fitts likes physically imposing CBs, especially on the outside.  If Henderson plays well, we have to let Donte walk so we can spend some money on fixing the offense.
