Montaric Brown contract projection: Will Jaguars re-sign free agent CB?

Jacksonville Jaguars' cornerback Montaric Brown is set to be a free agent this upcoming offseason.

So what might his next contract look like, and will the Jaguars re-sign him?

Montaric Brown free agent contract projection

According to Spotrac, Brown is projected to earn a three-year deal worth $27.68 million. That's good for an average annual value of $9.2 million per year.

In terms of player age, contract status, and statistical production, Kyler Gordon, Michael Carter II, and Elijah Molden were used by Spotrac as comparisons to determine what Brown's deal could be.

Will the Jaguars re-sign Montaric Brown?

My early guess right now is that Brown is back.

For one, the depth at the cornerback position for the Jaguars is a bit thin at the moment, with both Brown and Greg Newsome set to be free agents.

In addition to that, Brown took a big step forward last season, showcasing his abilities to start on a weekly basis and perform at a high level while doing so.

Brown allowed a completion rate of just 54% on 68 targets and held opponents to just 10.4 yards per catch. He also came away with two interceptions and forced nine pass breakups.

Finding a way to re-sign Brown makes a ton of sense for the Jaguars.
