Money talks.
And the dollars say Jimmy Smith is one of the best cornerbacks in the NFL.
The fifth-year defender cashed in this offseason with a four-year extension reportedly worth $41 million – a clear sign of respect that pays him as one of the NFL’s elite. His average annual salary of $10.275 million puts him just outside the top five at his position.
Now Smith wants to make sure people recognize he’s deserving of the distinction.
“It’s very important for me for the league to know who I am as a cornerback,” Smith said.
