If... (regarding the safeties)

If it can be done under the salary cap...

If he can pass a physical...

If he's still playing at a half-decent level... (haven't followed him for a while)

And if he's still a free agent, which I believe he is after being cut by the Jags... (last I remember seeing)

The Panthers might want to take a look at bringing back Marlon McCree.

I don't think Quinton Teal is doing the job in Chris Harris' spot, and it seems unclear how long harris is going to be out.

I'd need to look further into this to be dead certain, but this is my thinking at the moment.

I actually had this same thought when I was rewatching some old 2005 Panther highlights. He would probably do a better job than Teal, but since he is getting a little older he might be prone to get beat deep with speed. If I remember correctly he did a good job with the Chargers for his stint there but having him back in a Panther uniform would be a somewhat better option for a short term solution.

When will you guys get the message...Godfrey is the problem. Teal is playing fine considering he is a back up and did not get a lot of reps at the position. Godfrey needs to be replaced, period. He is not a qualified started.

Yeah you have a good point. I saw many times yesterday when Godfrey would be chasing after a receiver that he should have been covering and he seems lost in coverage at times.

In my opinion, right now the entire secondary looks for three reasons:

A) They are learning a new system

B) The system they are learning doesn't fit our secondary (but fits our LBs well)

C) They are an average group in aggregate in terms of talent

If you want to bring someone in, bring in someone who has played Cover Two zone extensively.

It's on the corners, not the safeties in my opinion. I'd be fine if we were playing Cover 2 man instead of Cover 2 zone. Gamble wouldn't look so crappy.

All that said, if these guys can learn and just be average, I think the linebackers are so strong on this team that we can make up for it. Marshall is actually good at reading the run and stopping guys that are trying to get outside. Once they learn, I think we can be average against the pass. Maybe slightly above average. But with the current lot at secondary, I don't see us being remotely intimidating against the pass anytime soon.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
