CB options

[NAS]

Anyone know which teams in camp are deepest at CB. May be worth trading one or two of the 7ths next year for someone that is likely to get cut anyway.

Who starts at corner opposite JC now?  Hill?

I could see Hill moving outside has part of rotation with Jamison, Bootle or Jackson.

Nick Scot might slide in to cover the nickel or the Smith-Wade kid if he’s done enough to gain the coaches trust. I bet we see a lot of him in these preseason games.

It was a silly signing.  Seems to make more sense to draft a RB every 2-3 years.

I agree wholeheartedly here. And with RBs being de-valued in the draft, it makes it much easier to snag a top end RB. 

But back to the cornerback thing... are we still looking? I think we've been unsettled at CB for, well, since that last SB run.

So what happens when Horn goes down again? Just because they picked up his 5th year option doesn't change the fact he has been available under 50% of the time. This team could need 2 before Jackson is ready.

Garrett Wilson made a little highlight real yesterday, hard to make out the db numbers though aside from Horn not really engaging on that first td pass

Save 200k cutting him! lol. $7.5m dead cap 200k savings. A Sanders trade could give us $6m if someone is insanely desperate but even our RB5 Mike Boone is balling out apparently. You don't pay RB's not named CMC or maybe Barkley

The Cowboys have shown interest in Sanders. Even if they pay 1/2 his salary and we get a 5/6th round pick, (or a CB) that would free up money. Brooks will be ready by week 3 to 4 I think.

We can sign Gilmore if we spread-out the CAP hit across multiple future years. Something like:

2024 - 1 million 

2025 (Dummy) - 4 million

2026 (Dummy) - 5 million

 

10 million total pay-out.

I am totally fine with Chubba/Blackshear/Boone for a month

I honestly think you hit on the soution here, or their plan. They keep adding safetys for a reason, maybe that reason is to have hill fill in for jackson until he's healthy and run a big nickle with 3rd safety. 

 

It sorta makes sense given the lack of CBs and depth at S. The 3rd S Scott has played in everos system. It could be the base D until health is returned to 100%. 

 

Hill has played outside for evero, but he's best at NB. Who knows they could claim a CB and start him week one as well. I've heard everos system puts the most stress on CB, so it would have to be a smart player.

Was anyone else left with a bad taste in their mouth after Gilmore talked about being home and loved being here, but then has been doing nothing but money hunting around ever since? I would be fine if he never comes back. Im tired of liars.

teams dont really show players loyalty unless you are a core player--the rest are temps.  If I were 34, Id be going after a last payday too.  But yeah, he did say that stuff-I think his wife did too

we did the right thing by eating all the dead cap this year. once the bears use their second round pick in 2025 the fitt disaster class will be a thing of the past. sans very small amounts of dead cap for 2025

I would take them pay half his salary and that's it to be honest. I don't think they would give us a draft pick for him but if they paid half his salary I would say done deal and bye.

That Hurst signing was atrocious,  like just about everything else that happened on shitterers watch
