I'm going to rationalize that as he's in talks to move some of these mid round picks for a vet corner so I can sleep tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dean Lowry played in nearly 47% of the defensive snaps while Quinton Dial played in nearly 30% of the defensive snaps. That means those two players' snaps are going to Wilkerson. Ya no doubt that rotation is gonna be so much better, just saying its a good problem to have on whom you're gonna use on a down to down basis.

It's frustrating that we haven't signed a corner yet but if we end up with one or 2 of Pat Robinson, Claiborne, Melvin I would be happy. We're all annoyed. Some of us are willing to see it play out, and not be mad about things we can't control Gute said during his presser that free agency might not necessarily be the way they'll upgrade the secondary. I guess we'll have to wait and see what the plan is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes but dude it's also annoying to have a conversation on here and have someone quote every positive thing someone says and ****s on it by complaining about something else.

deltarich87 Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 Great deal. Mo is still good....when he wants to be. This being just a 1yr deal that will at most be worth $8 million means very little risk for GB. With him being reunited with Pettine and playing for a new payday, I'd expect Wilkerson to ball out. Now....about the CB situation. Let's see what kind of miracles Gute can work there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You could not be more right. Quick, which loser franchise TRADED for 1 of its starting CBs on August 11, 2017, signed a S who played 367 Defensive snaps on August 3, and signed its 3rd CB on March 28 (or well after the first wave of FAs was gone)? Howie Roseman says hello Gute. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greg C. Posted March 14, 2018 Share Posted March 14, 2018 I would like this signing a lot better if teams didn't play so many two-man fronts nowadays. Or was the two-man front a Capers thing? Anyway, it's a one-year deal for a reasonable price, and it should give us a pretty great DL rotation, so I'm not complaining. I wonder if the defensive scheme will be altered to get all three of them on the field at the same time as often as possible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm going to rationalize that as he's in talks to move some of these mid round picks for a vet corner so I can sleep tonight. I'm sweating this Free Agency/Cap Situation. * Best case scenario, not a cent of incentives in Wilkerson's deal are deemed likely to be earned and he comes in with a cap hit of 5 million. * Best case scenario, Jimmy Graham is only hitting you for about 4 million in cap hit. * Draft class is hitting you for 2.5 million. Burning 11.5 million right there. Figure Gute probably doesn't run the 8 million in rollover that Thompson does, but I'm going to be skeptical if he doesn't keep 5 million in the bank. That leaves me with 15 million left to fix this ****. ++++ My 3rd WR is one of Allison/Janis/Davis My RG is the winner of the camp battle between Justin McCray and Lucas Patrick My 3rd and 4th rush backers are Kyler Fackrell and Vince Biegel, with two injury prone starters. My starting SS is Kentrell Brice. My 1st CB is Kevin King My 2nd CB is Josh Hawkins My 3rd CB is Lenzy Pipkins My 4th CB is Herb Waters ++++ Even if you restructure Rodgers and really backload the hell out of that contract, you're going to struggle to fill those gaps. I get we've got draft picks, but I'm not liking the thought of trying to fill 4 starting spots with draft picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s about 500k coming off any players cap number as we sign guys. also, why wouldn’t Josh Jones start at SS? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
