??

wasn't he recently quoted as wanting a long term contract here?

He did, but he apparently doesn't think they'll keep him.

I wouldn't proclaim him "gone" just yet myself, but it's definitely possible.

(opinions vary on whether that's a good thing or a bad thing)

depends on alot of factors. I view him as a nickel corner in a good defense, a # 2 on an average defense, and a # 1..well nevermind, so anyway if we plan on being a good defense then we shoudlnt offer him more than nickel cb money, he and his agent likely disagree with me.

Thank God!

"The indications that I'm getting are that I'm not going to be here next year. I'm fine with that," Marshall said. "I had a great five years here and if I'm not back I'll be somewhere else playing."

Not a great tackler, and is playing a Tampa 2 as a CB = not a "system" guy. If the system changes, he may (or may not) fit right in. I'm not hung up on this guy either way. I'm not sure how he does in man2man/press coverage, but he's got some hang-ups with tackling, and that doesn't fit our scheme at this point.

Plenty of other roster spots to spend our money on.

    • After the Chiefs game a 6'5 X would really help in the Red zone. I would also love to add Slayton in FA 
    • But again, you can restock a defense through free agency much easier than offensive skill positions. Spend all our cap space on defense, take a true elite prospect who also happens to fit a position of need in T-Mac, and then use the rest of our picks on defense. Again, every season there’s a smattering of great DL, LB, and DB options in free agency, a Top 10 WR never hits free agency, ever.  The only way you get one is through the draft or giving up 1st round picks in a trade for one. If he’s there when we’re on the clock, he has to be the pick, he’s just that good.  
    • It must be an early Christmas for JT O'Sullivan having Thielen back so he could put a coal in Thielen's stocking every chance he gets.  Honestly, the biggest surprise is not so much the anticipation. There were those moments here and there last year as well. It's that even that one positive quality he had seemingly vanished his first two games to where it looked like it was all but over, only for it to start coming back some until you get exclamation points all over this game film. And some of those throws were under a lot of duress, something I feel is something new. Finally, those deeper shots are starting to land. Not all of them, but enough that defenses may have to start respecting them. No guarantees whether this will end up as more of anomaly but I certainly hope it isn't. The Green Bay game was a sampler of what BY could be. Against KC, we got a meal. If we could start getting these meals regularly, we might actually have something to work with here.
