Anyone hear anything about the Matthews or Breaux  visits? I love Breaux and if he could stay healthy he could be a real steal. 

Someone on Reddit posted that James Jones tweeted that we had agreed to a deal with Jordan Matthews and then quickly deleted it. Had a screenshot of it too, but those tweet images are so easy to fake.

My guess is Matthews came in so that the foot/ankle specialist could see his progress in person from the surgery he had last year and the interest is probably pretty mutual (some retweeted Aaron from the 2014 draft saying he was a big fan of Matthews and Matthews just began running routes with Jordan Rodgers for his rehab). We'll probably keep tabs on him and if he's healthy around the time we signed Evans ( week before the draft) I think he'll be ours. He's good insurance like Evans was last year so we don't have to reach if a WR we like doesn't make it to our picks.

Breaux I doubt has visited yet as everyone is in FL for the league meetings, I'm sure we'll get to him later in the week. IMO we might be using him as leverage for House.

God I hope we don't do that. Breaux could be a heckuva corner if healthy.

I dont think they're much different. House was dominant in his first year in Jax, hasn't stayed healthy since. Breaux is the same. Both long, press guys with plus athletic ability. House was just our injured turd last year, Breaux is a new injured turd so he's more popular. You get either 100% playing at their peak, I don't see much difference.

Unfortunately, that's not something you can even feel semi good about it.  He hasn't been the same since 2015.

House/Breaux, Vacarro/Reid, Matthews would be my 3 dream additions before the draft at this point.

Depth at CB, flexibility at safety and a security blanket at WR. I'd rather spread the money out than go overkill and sign a 3rd FA CB. We'll draft some.

Tramon, King, DP, House, Breaux, Pipkins/DP/Hawkins/Waters

Reid can play the slot defender role, so that's nice to have as an addition to the man coverage ability.  Vacarro seems to be good at the less important aspects of the safety position, so not as interested in him.

Breaux is visiting like 5 teams, you think the #5 CB job in GB is what he's going to take? Same with House? You can sell one on battling for a starting spot, but once one signs, the other is going elsewhere.

just overpay them both IMO.  Would rather have both of them than tramon, but now that tramon is done and overpaid, well, I guess you're right we aren't getting both.

Except House didn't get injured in 2016. He just lost the starting job.
