Yeh he looked horrible against the best receiver in the League holding him to four catches for less than fifty yards and no scores... what an f’ing bum 

Forgot 30 yard PI that directly let to TD?  And the fact that best receiver was benched after 2.5 quarters.

4 catches on 9 targets. It was the only game all year Thomas had been held under 66% catch percentage.

Bradberry is rated at 59% which is below average by PFF.  Do not kid yourself.  The fact remains that Thomas played only 2.5 quarters and Bradberry interfered on on 30 yard pass that lead to a TD.

He could be franchise tagged, but I'm starting to think if he isn't, we might be about to wave bye bye.

He isn’t worth it, he is no Josh Norman no matter how many people want to say he is or a Chris Gamble even.

no thanks hard pass from me.

[Ivan The Awesome]

Y'all are savage. He's been better than Norman and has been the best CB we have. That said, he's not worth top 5, or top 10. He's probably top 15 which is not as good as it sounds but in our division he's shut down Julio several times, Evans as well. Out of him and Shaq, we should have paid him instead of Shaq. But good ole hurn dawg at it again. 

 

It's time everyone gets their heads out of their asses and realizes that we are actively in a rebuild type mode. There will be a huge turn around and I wouldn't be surprised if they also trade Keek. Be ready for it, as much as I love 59, ever since the 34 switch he's been playing like an average LB. If Tepper really wants to rebuild, he'll only keep CMC. 

[Mr. Scot]

Cockrell is a free agent too.

If we don't re-sign Bradberry, our number one corner is Donte Jackson.

[ForMac]

It depends if we're retooling or rebuilding. For a retool, I think we need him. I would reasonably overpay him for stability. He can also hold In check and mitigate some of the best receivers in the league. Look at Jackson for drafting potential. I think it's a bigger risk drafting and hoping he's on Bradburry's level right away. Or signing JAGs and hoping for the best.

If we let Bradberry go what in the world are we going to do?

Fine a replacement...and move on.

[Kuechly&Moore]

Nice knowing ya good luck you are not worth it.

[Peon Awesome]

Part of this is posturing I'm sure. He has to start from a higher place so when he gets negotiated down, it's still a number he is happy with. I would be surprised if someone is willing to pay him top 5 money without a single pro bowl to his name (although it's definitely possible.. someone might pay him off potential since he's young). But he will probably at least get more than we'd ideally like to pay. We have to either be prepared to overpay a bit or have to start from scratch in our backfield like we did in 2016 when we let Norman walk. Neither scenario is ideal with so many holes to patch

Hurney gone pay up 100 percent sure of it lol we about to the browns this decade

Safe = CMC, Burns, Shaq, Moore.  That's really about it.

The defense will look very different next season.
