Richard Marshall

[bigdog10]

Marshall is a guy who I think a scheme change would make better.

However, I don't think it would make him good enough to compensate him for what he thinks he is worth

[The Saltman]

Marshall is a nickel corner at best. problem is we dont have a corner good enough to replace him.

[Dpantherman]

Champ Bailey will be very expensive. that money should be dedicated toward keeping our guys first.

[Dpantherman]

Guys like Eric Wright, Carlos Rodgers, and Josh wilson will be our targets

[vorbis]

this is just step 2b of the "get that money when you're done with your rookie deal" playbook. next step is try to solicit mad offers from poorly run teams that throw money at the top 3 names on espn's free agent rankings and can't draft for poo. marshall may or may not stay, but him saying he wants to say is more about the process of becoming a FA than his actual feelings on the matter.

[The Saltman]

i would not be happy with eric wright on my team

[philp]

hahaha panther 12-4 prediction. you might be the first.

Completely with you on this one. If Luck doesn't come out and we can't trade down, I want a shut-down corner with that first pick.

If Luck declares, we need to look at two possibities of either Champ Bailey or Nnamdi Asomugha.

How is Asomugha a possibility? Isn't he under contract for two more years?

[The Saltman]

ya we would have to trade for him. how bout armanti edwards straight up?

I'm a big fan of Peterson as well, he is my highest regarded player coming out.

[TANTRIC-NINJA]

I'm all for keeping Marshall if two conditions are met. One, he doesn't ask for alot of money. Two, he goes back to being our nickel guy and third corner. This guy is an outstanding nickelback. He was great at getting pressure on the QB when he blitz and made plays with getting interceptions.

When he played for us on the other side of Gamble, he was a little above an average corner. That is why he would be most valuable to us as a nickel corner. As for who takes his place at starter, if Luck doesn't declare, we need to take Patrick Peterson. If Luck declares, we need to look at two possibities of either Champ Bailey or Nnamdi Asomugha.

Champ Bailey will be a free agent after this season, so he would be very easy to bring in if we show to him we are a competitor and show him decent money. Yet if we got Aso, that would be very huge, instantly upgrading our defense into a top five defense. (Even top three)

Nnamdi has a huge contract right? Champ Bailey may also come cheaper because he has expressed an interest to play FS to prolong his career..I'll TAKE IT! CB sure...FS yes please...

[Actionman0z]

Having AJ Green would make our WR Corps absolutely insane.

Does not matter if you do not have anyone to give him the rock!

That would be a major upgrade to have Champ at free safety, put sherrod or godfrey at SS, draft PP to shut down the left side. Then we just need a competent offensive coordinator :biggrin: its gonna be Luck though
