Josh Thomas should see significant playing time at CB as well.

Also nickel is Capt, CJ Moore.

Anyway, ill take it. It is an improvement over last year (not saying much).

 

Agreed, I didnt even bother putting in Captain. I think Thomas works his way into the starting lineup at some point, just thinking those are your two opening day starters.

I would say that Florence will definitely start on one side, but the other side is much trickier to figure out. I would love for Josh Norman to step up, but we need to see if he his confidence when covering will be improved (no seven yard cushion on every play). Munnerlyn will probably be in the running and may begin the preseason at number 1 because he came on strong at the end of last season. I don't feel that Thomas will be starting, but he will be the first guy rotating in and out. So, I suppose the most likely starting situation will be:

 

CB: Florence/Norman (Thomas rotating and taking Norman's spot if Norman continues to struggle.)

Nickle: Munnerlyn

FS: Godfrey

SS: Mitchell

I feel like Dock did the best out of all the corner's on the roster (that had significant playing time).

 

I know it doesn't/didn't look flashy but Thomas and Dockery was definitley are best corner combo last year.

Can't be said enough.  Norman gets a lot of love because we drafted him and because of his attitude and for talking poo to Bob Griffin, but Thomas, Dockery, and Captain were all much better at actually playing the position than he was last season.

 

If he's gotten a lot better since then, awesome.  Until he proves it we should have some combo of Florence/Thomas/Dockery at CB 1 and 2.

Rumor has it that Norman took his benching very seriously last year and is back with his priorities in order.  We shall see how this translates. 

Personally, I liked what I saw out of Thomas late in the year but, I would never pull against Norman.

May the best men win.

First of all, Capt can't play outside. He just can't. Keep him as the nickle playing close to the LOS where he can be effective.

Thomas should start on one side until Norman beats him out.

 

I'd rather have Captain and Thomas on the field week 1....than Norman and Drayton.

 

and that isn't a glowing endorsment of Capt and Thomas.

      If you wanted Danny Dimes here’s the chance

      By Jackie Lee · Posted

      Strange, every news article and tweet I just searched all mentioned waivers. It is definitely his sixth year of at least 6 games. All I was trying to think of earlier was at the vet min could he beat out Bryce in camp next year lol. He's kinda got the old Darnold issue where he can obviously launch deep balls and qb run at a level Bryce will never achieve, but it sounds like he would be content being like a Josh Allen backup who doesn't throw the whole game plan out the window if he has to come in for a series or two. If we had him and for some reason still wanted to start Bryce he would kinda do what Justin Fields was doing the other night with Dangeruss, coming in for designed runs and maybe some play action/triple option rpo things to go deep. That would be so obvious and sad though. At least Russ can still sling it 40 yards in the air with a flick of the wrist

      Too late to edit above but the quote is from this Diane Russini article in the Athletic: https://www.nytimes.com/athletic/5941684/2024/11/23/russinis-what-im-hearing-the-day-the-jets-fell-apart-and-the-broncos-rallied-belichick-best-fits/ Okay.. there you have sorry I left that out the first post.  Also waivers keep the contract intact. That is the major difference in released and waived. It's all in that link from the other post.

      Okay so I am reading something in The Athletic and it says that Jones had to pass through waivers. So I don't know. I looked this stuff up when we were number one there all offseason and I thought it said 4 years in the league got you vested, as they call it.  Vested gets you out of waivers as I understood it. I probably got something wrong, but when I think about the slack quality of journalism these days I wonder about that. So I went and looked, again. Well, well.  For everyone: "When a player has accrued at least four seasons in the NFL, they are considered a vested veteran. When these vested veterans get cut, they are released and their contract is terminated. When a vested veteran is released, they are an unrestricted free agent that can sign with any NFL team, and the team that released them doesn’t need to provide any additional compensation." It runs it all down here, where the quotes came from: https://www.profootballnetwork.com/waived-vs-released-nfl/ As far as Jones, the team turned down his 5th year option so I knew that meant he had 4 years in, because they re-signed him anyway, after turning down the much cheaper extra year.  The Athletic is owned by the New York Times so I shouldn't be surprised. That paper was an institution once upon a time but they let their standards go.
