Cory's Corner: Signing Alexander Was A Must

The Jaire Alexander signing had to happen.

Unfortunately, I heard plenty of people that thought otherwise.

Alexander’s four-year, $84 million extension makes him the highest-paid defensive back in the NFL at $21 million a year. Now the last thing you should be saying is that he’s overpaid because he only has five career interceptions. Because that would be about as intelligent as climbing a tree during a thunderstorm.

We all know that quarterback is the most important position on a team, followed by left tackle and either cornerback or wide receiver. It’s cornerback if your team has a top five quarterback and it’s wide receiver if your quarterback doesn’t make that cut.
