J And what makes you say that? Honestly? This isn't RB. 30 isn't a wall. Just about any hall of fame safety you can mention was elite into the early 30s. Reed, Dawkins, Williams, Woodson. Even Lynch, Sharper, and Harrison at least stayed very good until ~34 or so. Hell, go back to Paul Krause or Willie Wood. The only guys at S that don't last are guys with more extensive injury histories. And honestly, there's nothing about Earl's style that would indicate a steep and sudden drop off.

Edge Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I'm split on it. First of all i don't think it will happen. But if it would happen, i would be ok with spending a 2nd rounder for him. But i wouldn't want to take the big contract that would be necessary to get him. If we would do it, than we would need to win the SB. I wouldn't accept anything else, because so much longterm money in the Safety position would likely result in other key losses in the future.

I do agree it probably won't happen. If it did though, it would definitely be a, we plan to be in the superbowl this year or next, kind of move. Moneywise, I'd be curious what Thomas is looking for. If he's looking for a raise or just long-term security. I'd be fine with the latter, not with the former. I wouldn't mind paying him an extension at his current rate ($10M/yr) but I definitely wouldn't go for it if he's wanting top S contract type money.

mayanfootball Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I like Earl alot, but i'd rather draft a similar Safety with our 1 or 2nd. rd. pick. Berry is gone sooner than later and a draft pick could solve our problems here. This is still a young team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KCsb Posted September 27, 2018 Share Posted September 27, 2018 I agree. Ā Drafting a quality safety with 1 of our early draft picks and having Berry around to mentor him would be huge. Ā Similar to having Alex Smith mentor Mahomes for a year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He made the Pro-Bowl, but it was not one of his bestĀ seasons. 2016? NOT! 2015? Maybe, but maybe not. 2014 is his last All-Pro season.Ā ET is playing very well, but he is not the beast that anchored the LegionĀ of Boom. If he is very good at 29, what is he at 33?

On a team with a subpar DL and incredibly inexperienced corners, he and McDougald are what is keeping that defense together this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

onejayhawk Posted September 29, 2018 Share Posted September 29, 2018 I agree. MacDonald is the one to have. Consider fantasyĀ wisdom in IDP leagues. You want MLB and S from bad defenses.Ā They get all the tackles.Ā J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
