Safeties have been the only thing "worth it" so far in FA. Give me Mathieu for 7m or Burnett for 5 over Johnson for 15 or Butler for 12 every day of the week.

MacReady Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Who cares if Bryant gets cut? I sure don't. He's not talented enough to overlook his personality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here. If I can pick the CB (because I think Gaines is basically a Brown based on what I'm hearing) it would be Breeland. Had we signed him during the 1st week of FA and there was no foot problem 99% of the population here would have been very happy. Doesn't change for me if we sign him 3 weeks later assuming the medical checks out. He'd be a big time addition to pair with the signing of Tramon. Then add Matthews and hit the draft.

Think it’s one of the easier positions to replace in football. I’m happy with where we’re at there. (just draft as many corners and pass rushers as possible) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They felt like the guards of to defense. Don't feel that way these days though. They're not just guys who aren't good at corner or two slow for it, etc. I think Collins taught me that lesson as much as anyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don’t get me wrong, I’d prefer a top S, I just would rather make sure my corner situation was solid. I just think guys like Collins or Thomas are rare. I don’t really see many like that, so it’s like unless one is available? Eh fair enough though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beekay414 Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 Reid is the only safety that I'd be open to bringing in. Tyrann was obviously the other. Reid was all over the field in San Francisco and, as was pointed out earlier, HaHa can move around as well. Honestly, I'll take any improvement to the secondary at any position at this rate.

Get some FA help at corner and WR. Get rusher/CB/WR in rounds 1-3. Then do a lot of hoping that the rookies and FA's you got work out well. And that some returning sophomores and juniors improve a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good move for the Brownies, but I mean, we basically knew he wasn't coming here. Down to Breeland and DRC. Just land one! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packfanfb Posted March 23, 2018 Share Posted March 23, 2018 So Hurns got about $12 million for 2 years. Frankly, I thought he'd cost more than that given what WRs have been getting thus far in FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would imagine Matthews's deal, wherever he signs, will be something similar, maybe a little less based on his recent injuries. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Did the jags all of a sudden become this well stocked offensive juggernaut That they're letting all their offensive weapons walk out the door? What am I missing here?
