Unless we get a good deal I am not a fan of this. CB is one of the strong positions in this FA class, why settle for the 5th or 6th guy? I regards to Cousins, now that the Vikings are in on him i really think that is where he ends up, it just makes to much sense. I wouldn't be opposed to take a crack at Teddy Two Gloves once he is officially a FA. He is still 25 and should be fully recovered. We sign him to a 1 year prove it deal and still draft a QB in the 1st. Give ourselves 2 young options who can potentially turn into the guy. PFF had Trumaine as the #68 CB in the league. Do you not consider him a #1 CB? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree. Hopefully just a message to scare Pats fans or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfan8178 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 If we signed Butler at a reasonable deal for the slot and still added a guy for the #1/#2 cb spot id be in. Better than Skrine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Better than Skrine Butler isn’t a slot CB he’s an outside CB. He does struggle at time against bigger guys. But has good success against top average sized guys like AB, OBJ, etc. Id rather other CBs, but I certainly wouldn’t dislike getting Butler.

Better than Skrin It all comes down to price, but he's not a slot guy. If we can get him for say 10 mil a year versus a guy like Claiborne who will likely get around 8 mil, he's definitely worth it.

KimuraGod Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 I’d like Butler but prefer Johnson and Fuller. As for Ziggy... not a huge surprise. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He hasn't be amazing lately. That is why I was worried about over paying for him. I'd prefer Gaines, Fuller, Colvin(for slot if we cut Skrine), Melvin, Nickel Robey-Coleman (slot as well).

Butler was elite in 2015 and 2016 and still solid this year. At the same price point, i'll take Butler. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KingOfNewYork Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Any interest in Aaron Colvin? Colvin, Claiborne, Another FA and a Rookie with Burris/Roberts/Robinson battling it out on the end? Trumaine Johnson is still my #1 target however but he may be costly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd take Colvin, but I feel like we'd need to upgrade over Mo. Mo was really up and down and with his injury history, we could be really thin.

Bobby816 Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Ideally for me we get a #1 CB in the likes of Fuller, Gaines, Johnson or Butler and also grab Colvin for the slot. And then draft a guy in our 1st few picks to play on the outside. So our starting secondary would be... FA, Colvin, Rookie Maye, Adams We miss our in Cousins and why not sign 2 or 3 CBs if we don’t bring back Mo and cut Skrine? Imagine getting Butler, Fuller and Colvin.
