Verrett is actually good when healthy. Notsomuch with Johnson.

I have full faith in McDermott when it comes to the secondary. Look at what he’s done with Jordan Poyer, Micah Hyde, and Tre White. He made Ej Gaines look good as well when he was on the field, and has Levi Wallace looking very promising as a nickel guy.

Really didn't expect Johnson to be one of the first FAs off the board. I'm guessing money is big, which I would be shocked about

Doubtful.  He's been on the market longer because he was cut, meaning he's been allowed to negotiate all last week.  His agent probably got him a deal done now because he knew his market could dry up when all the other FAs hit the market.

This very well could be the case, but I'm of the belief that the foot injury in 2016 is what ruined him. It was a lisfranc break, and after that - it seemed like he couldn't plant, cut or change direction as smoothly as possible. He'd get beaten on simple routes, not even complex routes. 

I'll be honest, I'd be shocked if he developed into anything worthy of note. I mean, he could - not like our secondary coaching has any notches of turning good players into great players - but from what I saw, it was a physical limitation that prevented Johnson from sticking in Houston.

Curious - are you guys heavy man defensive scheme?
