The Houston Texans just set a new standard for elite cornerbacks, inking Derek Stingley Jr. to a massive three-year, $90 million extension. At $30 million per year, Stingley is now the highest-paid corner in the NFL, reinforcing his status as one of the league’s top playmakers.
For the Detroit Lions, this deal makes their recent signing of D.J. Reed look even better. Reed, who joined the Lions on a three-year, $48 million contract, now appears to be one of the best value additions of the offseason. While Detroit lost Carlton Davis in free agency, they landed a high-quality replacement at a significantly lower price, keeping their secondary competitive without breaking the bank.
