Joyner is now the 5th highest paid Safety in the league, dz.

But it’s only for one year. And there are untold injury land mines for him out there.
A 5 year extension for $55 million with $30-35 million in guaranteed would seem more than fair to both sides. A win-win.
But if Joyner wants to hold the Rams hostage, then he can hit the road and Snead can find us another good player in the next draft.
That franchise tag must be kept available for AD at all costs, not that I would advocate using it again on Joyner, anyway.
If I was his agent, I'd advise him that I could get him 5 years for $65M next year on the open market. He was rated in Eric Berry territory, why not get paid like him?
Is the risk of injury worth sacrificing $10M? That's a tough sell.
Your third sentence has me intrigued. If he demands that amount and Snead says 'hit the road,' does that mean the Rams don't consider him a "core" player? Or is the is a situation when a designated "core" player gets away?
