Mikell gives them a major upgrade at safety and is an above average starting safety and 7 million per year, which is what he got, is about right for an above average starting safety, maybe a little much because I don’t know that safeties other than Troy Polamalu and Ed Reed help your defense a ton. However, will he be an above average starting safety over the 4 years of this deal. He’s 31 in September.
