I think today’s new piece at Athlon sums is all up. In short, they just don’t value cornerbacks, especially not enough to give one of them a lucrative long-term deal. They’re fine working with guys on their rookie deals or veterans on league minimum deals. Every now and then they’ll splurge on a one-year deal for someone really good – see Revis 2013 or Samuel 2007. But rarely is anyone getting over $4 million-per-year.
