Savage is already in the top 30 paid Safeties as a 1st rounder, getting that $8 million would put him at 18th compared to 2021 salaries and remember, they're almost always going up...
So we might be able to lock him up for $7 or 8 million per year for four years now, or someone can give $9 or $10 million in 2023.
Either way, I still think (I don't know, just think), Savages best spot might be the nickel CB spot, and let him just man coverage the slot guy. I don't think deep Safety is maximizing Savages value.... but the Safety depth behind the starters seriously sucks so they couldn't put him at nickel.
