The 31 year-old Demps only made $1.4 million in 2016. I’m not sure how much money he really thinks he’s going to get as a free agent, since he will be turning 32 before next season.
Demps wasn’t bad last season, but you have to wonder how much of his success was due to the defensive system he was in as well as the talent around him.
Demps was given a grade of 72.2 by Pro Football Focus for his play this past season. He did have six interceptions, but once again that could be due to the defensive scheme.
