The are rewarding cornerback after he set multiple career highs in 2017. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Dolphins made McCain the highest-paid Moritz Wagner Jersey nickel cornerback in football on Friday by giving him a four-year, $27 million extension with $13 million guaranteed. Dolphins have signed Bobby McCain to a 4-year extension worth $27 million, including $13 million guaranteed, per source. McCain now becomes NFLs highest paid nickel back. Adam Schefter (@AdamSchefter) That seems like a lot of money for the Dolphins to commit to a nickel cornerback. Over the past year, guys like per Spotrac.But as offenses increasingly operate out of three-receiver sets, the need for nickel cornerbacks has increased dramatically. According to Pro Football Focus, offenses used 11 personnel (one back, one Stanford Cardinal Jersey Sale tight end, three receivers) 58 percent of the time during the 2017 season. So, more often than not, defenses are forced to use three cornerbacks to defend three receivers.That's probably why the Dolphins felt the need to pay McCain. A fifth- Jon Teske Jersey round pick in 2015, McCain has played in all 48 games during his career, registering three interceptions, 17 pa ses defended, two sacks, and 84 tackles. This past season, he set career highs in interceptions, pa ses defended, and tackles. According to PFF, he graded out as the 46th-best cornerback in football while allowing a 78.4 pa ser rating in coverage, which tied for the 40th-lowest pa ser rating out of 124 qualified cornerbacks. Interestingly enough, it was of the who was tied with McCain. Callahan is regarded as one of the better slot corners in Darren Carrington II Jersey football, and his agent will surely take note of McCain's extension. Callahan is scheduled to become a free agent after the coming season.For McCain, he's getting a substantial raise after according to Spotrac. For the Dolphins, it's a significant financial commitment when they've got several other holes they need to plug if they're hoping to contend in the near future. Then again, maybe with McCain and rookie Minkah Fitzpatrick under team control Karl Joseph Jersey for the next several seasons, the Dolphins will finally have a secondary that can slow down Tom Brady and company. Last year, the Dolphins ranked while allowing the fourth-most points per game en route to a six-win season.
