The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.
NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.
We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.
So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Carolina Panthers safety, Jeremy Chinn.
Jeremy Chinn 2024 Contract Projection
The former second-rounder burst onto the scene in 2020 with two defensive touchdowns late in the season that had people encouraged for his future. Unfortunately for Chinn, the path forward since has been much rockier.
Coming off of a 2023 season where he only played 12 games, Chinn’s play ended on a high note, but was up and down for much of the season. He was targeted 17 times in the season and allowed an 82% catch rate, along with two touchdowns.
Still, Chinn is a big, athletic chess piece who has immense potential. He is at his best playing in the box as a hybrid safety-linebacker who can match up against some of the best tight ends in the game. With some improved health and solid play, he could be in-line for a multi-year deal in 2025.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
- Projected Contract: 1 Year, $3M, $3M APY, $2M GTD
- Year One Cap Hit: $1.8M
