Derwin James Jr. is a player in his prime under contract for one more year. Which means he’ll be playing for a new contract, coming off one of his best campaigns. When he signed it, his four-year contract, averaging 19 million a year in salary, was the most lucrative for a safety in NFL history. He’s coming off a second straight second-team All-Pro season, and he’s no stranger to this honor, having also been named first-team All-Pro before. One of the highlights of the impressive season he just completed was in week 3. He was named the AFC defensive player of the week. That was when he compiled 12 tackles, including 2 tackles for loss and a sack.
