He deserves every penny of that extension. He's grown so much since he was drafted!

Just hoping he can get past these injuries now!

It'll probably be announced right before camp breaks.He's been soooo good these past few years since Zimmer came to town.

Worth every penny when his extension comes down. Has a chance to be the best shut down corner in the league. He has a tough slate ahead of him this year, but I think he proved last year that he is the real deal.

FYI, anyone who doesn't already follow JR on Twitter, do it immediately. 

You'll thank me later.

Been following for about a year now. Are you JR?

Nope. JR and I are about as opposite as it gets in terms of looks.

Buzz on Twitter is that Rhodes has agreed to a contract, and possibly has signed it. Simply waiting for the announcement. 

I still think it'll look almost identical to Desmond Trufant's contract; 5 year extension, $70M, with $40M guaranteed.

By far the best corner we've had in years. He's great against the run too.

Great news. I think he is a legitimate top-5 corner in the NFL.

Vikings got the better end of that trade that sent Percy Harvin to the Seahawks for the pick that would Xavier Rhodes.
