Hard to know how it will pan out with Fuller. His play has been great at times, but also really bad some others. He's elevated his level this year for sure, he's had a good/very good season overall, but he's not gonna get near top-tier money anywhere. He doesn't make enough picks if nothing else.
The CB position is so weak they almost can't afford to let him walk. I suspect they'll have to overpay at least slightly to keep him here. It would hurt to lose him and weaken the position further, but damn, the slapping the franchise tag on him would be steep.
Prince...... I think if he'd been on a D with a genuine #1CB he would've seen a lot more action this season, and I'm not sure he would've held up. Teams have thrown at Fuller a LOT, even when he's had a great game. But even when Prince has been tested..... guy never seems to make a play. I don't think he has even 1 pick this year?
Prince currently has the 4th highest CAP hit on the team. Does anyone seriously think he's the 4th best player on the Defense let alone the team?? Cos I sure don't. If Prince is coming back that salary needs to come down by at least $2mil, maybe 3.
They actually have an out on Marcus Cooper after this season. You cut him and offer Prince a similar deal to Coopers originally, bit lower probably, it might work. But there's no way Prince should be back at current salary.
