What could a Jordyn Brooks contract extension look like?
Inside linebacker is viewed as one of the lesser positions in the NFL. Teams would simply rather pay quarterbacks, corners, wideouts, offensive tackles, and a few other positions first before investing in off-ball linebackers. Despite this, teams are still willing to pay the elite, difference-making linebackers such as Darius Leonard and Fred Warner, each of whom received contracts with total values over $95,000,000. Jordyn Brooks is not in that territory of linebacker yet as he does not have the track record, nor does he have their pass coverage acumen, however there is certainly a case to be made that he is only a tier or two below them.
