The price for Byron Jones just rose exponentially and the Eagles can thank the Houston Texans for helping.
One of the top cornerbacks in free agency is off the market after Houston agreed to a three-year, $36 million deal with Bradley Roby.
Roby, a slot cornerback, is getting $12 million per year for 3 years. Roby has more career interceptions than Jones (9) but he’s nowhere the impact player and may have caused the asking price to rise on the Dallas cornerback.
The $12 million per season puts Roby in the top-12 for cornerback salaries per Over The Cap and only ensures that Jones and James Bradberry of Carolina will attempt to eclipse the $15 million Desmond Trufant will get next season while trying to approach the $18 million Stephon Gilmore of the Patriots is expected to land.
