Marcus Peters new contract and what it means for Bradberry

[raleigh-panther]

Bradberry is avg

thompson is avg

hurney, still overpaying   No way was Thompson worth that money 

when have you seen Bradberry make a game winning play?

[ImaginaryKev]

Thompson is a versatile guy capable of playing v well but he's not Luke or TD so that paints his contract extension. It's probably fair, too. But i hope ya'll remember Thomas Davis didn't reach his potential til a scheme change and a knee injury. 

 

[Jared Patterson]

What do you think Bradberry will receive around for either the panthers or another team?

[ImaginaryKev]

Bradberry on the other hand plays a more difficult to find and valuable position but i think he's a guy you let walk if he's asking for too much.

Again, Byron Jones is a real option bc of the contract situations in Dallas, and he is an upgrade who can also play safety, and the draft is full of corners who could be better. I'd let him walk, nothing personal.

Baltimore just signed Peters to a 3 year, $42 million contract with $32 million in guarantees. He's been a 1st team all pro (might grab his 2nd this year), 3 time pro bowler and has 27 career interceptions including 7 pick sixes.

Meanwhile Bradberry doesn't have a single pro bowl or all pro to his name. We can't really afford to lose him or we'll end up with a 2016 situation when we let Norman go, but it should establish a bar for the Bradberry contract. Something similar to Shaq's contract seems more than fair now.

Irrelevant to Bradberry situation...

Bradberry can be had for #2 CB money .. no team will pay him close to Peters

[Jared Patterson]

Bryon Jones will get around 14-15 million so he would be more expensive than Bradberry. Why not sign Bradberry and then get Logan Ryan and move Donte to the slot and draft a safety with our second round pick

[ImaginaryKev]

We'd be signing Bryon Jones over Bradberry bc Corners are hard to find and we're actually trying to get better at a premium position instead of treading water with players who we just happened to draft and are emotionally invested in

[ImaginaryKev]

The Patriots and Ravens pay more attention to the secondary than anyone else and pay those positions (like Gilmore and Johnathon Jones and mow Peters).

We're in a division with fugging Julio Jones and Michael Thomas. I can't imagine why any of y'all would want to settle for guys like Bradberry when an upgrade in free agency, Jones, and the draft, a bunch of guys, are available. I think it's because we drafted Bradberry, period. We need to be more mature as a fanbase and stop being afraid to spend a billionaires money on better players lol. Y'all wanna be 5-11 forever?

No disrespect at all but that secondary would be very very mediocre even if the safety turns out good

[amcoolio]

8 million max or pass. I get that our DL sucked this year but Bradberry is just an average cover corner and not much else.

[AggieLean]

I think we can do a lot better than Bradberry, and if you can’t get him for 8 or 9 then you let him go.

I guess it’s a good thing Hurney didn’t lock him up in the off-season, because I feel he probably would’ve made him one of the top paid Corners.

Logan Ryan has been amazing this year and Bradberry plus Donte are very young and with coaching could be very good. Id like Byron Jones and Ryan, but Byron will get too much money
