The injury to Godfrey made this necessary. This could mean that Godfrey will go on IR (though I'm just speculating). Personally, I like this move and hope it's permanent; I also hope when Godfrey is healthy, we will work him at his natural position as CB. JMO

I like the move of trying Martin out at S and when Godfrey comes back to move him to CB. If Fox wants a CB or a S he should draft one instead of tweaking guys and moving them for there 1st snaps at the pro level. imo.

I just hope we don't go shuffling people around once Godfrey comes back. Do what ya want with Godfrey, leave him at S or switch to CB, but for gods sake don't move Martin back out of S..

We should have learned this from TD... Granted circumstances cause you to duck and roll, but we have to keep stable to some degree as well.

    • Kind of where I'm at on this also. I think he has the potential to be an all pro caliber guard if he can come back 100%. He's more mauler than quick. Hunt is making 20m per, Moton is making 22m. Moton is a better RT than Icky is a LT so I think the pay comp would probably be about the same there. I don't see Icky as a 28m per season LT. He'll be low 20s and as an elite guard, i think he'd be within a couple mill of that. 
    • I read that Pittsburgh is a possibility.  I think of college QB studs who had some form of mental quirk yet tons of talent--but their issue made being a team leader difficult and it led to their demise--going back:  Jamarcus Russell, Art Schlichter, Jeff George, etc. I think people forget that the QB must not only have talent, but they must lead.  
    • I wish I knew more details, but the NIL money to 20-year olds combined with easy access to gambling sites is a side effect that these kids may not have considered.  To your point,A famous 2009 Sports Illustrated article titled “How (and Why) Athletes Go Broke” estimated that 78% of retired NFL players go bankrupt or face significant financial stress within two years of leaving the league.  I am guessing that ego and $$$ and the thrill of competition (most pro athletes love competition because they are the winners) makes it a powerful temptation.  Throw in the ease of gambling on your phone which is always in your hand, and I see your point x 10.
