No brainer there

Agreed but we need to see improvement from Lattimore. He has been inconsistent. Great first year. Marginal year 2 and 3. mixed year 4.

Curious, Latt as you value 1cb over RT?

No, much cheaper to sign. And he's a right tackle, which is akin to an interior lineman's salary.

I would say

2017 - top 3 CB in the league
2018 - top 20 CB in the league
2019 - top 8 CB in the league

He hasn't played his 4th season.

You could argue he was the best corner his rookie year.

You are correct. My bad.

Stop with the ifs... both will be resigned to long term deals.

Mickey Loomis is a salary cap manipulator extraordinaire on our behalf!

So what is the cost of picking up their 5th year option.

So what is the cost of picking up their 5th year option.

Nothing this year. Their salaries next year will be pretty high. The salaries for both will be the average of the top 3-25 salaries (for this year) of there position and that isn't set until around the draft.

Agreed.
If money dictates that you can only keep one, which is it?

I feel if given the choice between Lattimore or Ram.
It will be Ram.
