IMO he'd be fine as a #2 but no longer is a #1 corner. Had a high price tag with no dead cap along with an upcoming 4 game suspension next year.

soflbillsfan Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Is he looking for another pay day or looking to go after a ring? Curious as how the CB market will be for guys like him, Peterson, and Sherman, all 3 heading toward the tail end of their careers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SteelKing728 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 The Vikings need a veteran CB to go with Gladney and Dantzler but I'm not sure Bouye is that guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In a pinch, I guess... but if you're in a pinch it probably means you don't have any great options anyways. I wouldn't expect him to shut down his guy or anything. He won't be a sieve but won't be a difference maker either. I'd say at this point he's an average #2 corner where his best matchup is against bigger WRs. It's also a little difficult to judge this past season for him. He got injured week 1, came back for a week then was out for a concussion, then was suspended. At age 29, did he have bad luck this year, or is it a sign of his regression. In this case, I'm feeling its the latter. And to somewhat correct myself, I think he only has 1 or 2 games left on his suspension next year... not 4 that I mentioned earlier.

So there is a possibility that with a fresh start in a new place and an offseason to heal, he could revert back to at least his 2018 form?

I think thats always the question with aging players who also have had recent injuries. Is it a possibility? Sure... but also, it has been a few years since he has been a great corner with additional injuries since then along with PED use. If he was to sign for a 1 year and 1 mil? yeah, worth the risk. But 1 year 12 mil, not worth that risk. Personally, I think he is best as a #3 corner where the #2 is a strong slot player. I doubt he'll want to play for #3 corner money and isn't a special teams player either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BroncoBruin Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 He was okay. Solid #2, pinch #1, yeah that’s probably accurate. When he and Callahan were actually on the field together the secondary looked pretty good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had a high price tag with no dead cap along with an upcoming 4 game suspension next year. Was he ever even really a true #1 corner? Even at his absolute peak, he was playing as part of a stacked secondary behind a true #1 cb. Could argue he was on the fringes of that as a serviceable #1 for a while maybe. Or at least the results were there in the right situation. But dropping off to a decent #2 doesn’t even really seem like that big a gulf.
