Free Agent Cornerbacks/Safetys


Dex

Recommended Posts

We are most likely keeping Gamble, Hogan, Godfrey and Munnerlyn. Possibly Butler if he comes cheap. So that leaves around 5 possibly slots between promoting from practice squad, free agency and the draft. Now I see us picking up Casey Hayward in the 4th because I'm not totally sold on picking up Kirkpatrick with that pick. So we have some possibilities in free agency.

Cornerbacks

Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee Titans (Drew Brees is in our division.)

Brent Grimes, Atlanta Falcons

Carlos Rogers, San Francisco 49ers (We should have got him last year no way he leaves San Fran.)

Brandon Carr, Kansas City Chiefs

Tracy Porter, New Orleans Saints

Rashean Mathis, Jacksonville Jaguars

Marcus Trufant, Seattle Seahawks

Terrell Thomas, New York Giants

Ronde Barber, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eric Wright, Detroit Lions

Aaron Ross, New York Giants

William Gay, Pittsburgh Steelers

Richard Marshall, Arizona Cardinals (Bring him back for the league minimum.)

Tim Jennings, Chicago Bears

Alan Ball, Dallas Cowboys

Elbert Mack, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Corey Graham, Chicago Bears

Zackary Bowman, Chicago Bears

Kelvin Hayden, Atlanta Falcons

I like the idea of this setup in order.

-Gamble

-Finnegan

-Hayward/Hogan/Butler

-Munnerlyn (ST Hero)

As for safeties have Rivera make a call and bring this man in with a nice restructured contract.

Oh I forgot no one ever changes their mind after the draft. My bad I guess this thread is GIF approved.

Were going to have to deal with that stupid response every time free agency discussion comes up, so you better settle in.

Rest assured, when we sign our first even relatively decent player I'm going to go ballistic on some folk. I've already got my list cooking,

Tracy Porter would be a nice signing with the Saints having to pay as many people as they do. Cortland Finnegan would be a lovely signing, we need someone with an attitude on defense, but I don't realistically see him leaving Tennessee.
Recently heard he's been somewhat disgruntled because he hasn't been taken care of yet. Also yes he is the Steve Smith of the Defense. Also Smitty vs CF practice should be interesting.

Also this is my mock.

#1 - Devon Still DT Penn State (Beast)

#2 - Sean Spence OLB Miami (Thomas Davis 2.0)

#4 - Casey Hayward CB Vanderbilt (Play maker & steal)

#5 - Brandon Mosley OT Auburn (Not Otah)

#6 - Shaun Powell P Florida State (Baker is bad)

#7 - D''Anton Lynn CB Penn State (Not Martin)

corey graham should be brought in since he's a special teams beast

don't think we can afford grimes, carr, finnegan, thomas, or anyone like that

no safeties available that i'm interested in either...

Yeah, no safeties interested me either. I'm not totally concerned with the Cap as of now with all these TV Deals coming but I like to keep an open mind because clearly Captain isn't the answer.

I like Brandon Carr and Aaron Ross. Remember we don't need a #1 corner just a #2. I think either of those guys could take on that role and be effective. There is also the chance Hogan could step up and be a#2 corner as well.

    • Looking over the roster and the team has positioned themselves fairly well for this upcoming draft when it comes to addressing the edge group. Clowney and Wonnum are the definite starters with Pat Jones II having split time evenly both on the strong- and the weak-side last year in Minnesota. DJ Johnson is a strong-side guy, Amare Barno weak-side. Further down the roster, Boogie Basham is a strong-side defender as is Kenny Dyson (primarily a ST-contributor tho). Thomas Incoom splits time on both sides of the line. The team seems to be approaching the strong-side with a platoon approach with the weak-side needing the biggest injection of talent. However, they might also be looking to have an answer for life after Clowney as part of the offseason's theme of killing the run on defense. I can better understand the allure of Mykel Williams and Shemar Stewart when trying to look at it through that lens.   Manifesting a trade back for Donovan Ezeiruaku... (シ_ _)シ 
    • 7-10 sacks from him would be insane. That’s nick bosa/will Anderson. If we drafted him I’d be pleasantly surprised with 4-5 and locking up the run. 
    • Yeah, but there aren't 142 starters. 64th out of 142 puts him in bottom of the barrel starter/good backup range.
