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 Baltimore Ravens safety, Geno Stone.
Geno Stone 2024 Contract Projection
Stone has gone from seventh-round pick to starting safety over four years, steadily growing his snap count with each passing year. 2023 marked his breakout season, as he tallied seven interceptions while operating within one of the most innovative and impressive defenses in the league.
Stone has primarily operated as a free safety, where his coverage skills shine. Stone’s 0.25 yards per coverage snap was fourth and his 50.8 QB rating against was sixth among all safeties with at least 300 coverage snaps.
Stone will be a perfect compliment to a team that has a very good box safety that allows him to stay up top where he does his best work.
- Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
- Projected Contract: 3 years, $25.5 million, $8.5M APY, $12M GTD
- Year One Cap Hit: $4.0 million
