My point is that a team can have an absolute elite pass rush and terrific linebackers but without good corners it won't matter against a good offense. Sure, if a team has the best dline in the league and an elite safety they can get away with just having good corners, but then you're relying on gettting 2-3 elite pass rushers, great linebackers, and an elite safety. Point is that great defenses need multiple great players and letting, perhaps, your best defensive player walk isn't a great way to build a great defense.I will say this as flatly as possible; no team gets better by letting a top-10 corner go. The Packers should pay Jaire whatever they must to keep him. Having a top-10 corner on the team's defense is a major part of creating a great defense.</blockquote>
