We've had weak DBs for years. Why does that need to change now??? Strengthen and fortify the trenches and it doesn't matter who we've got back there. We thrived with guys like Mitchell and Florence. 

In addition, I'll take more DL talent even if it's depth.

That All-Pro DB is 29 and can't handle the shifty WRs. How is that worth $75m? We got Bradberry and he's ahead of Norman on the development chart.

Norwell won't have leverage.

Star deserves whatever he wants but his deal will be friendlier than expected like Luke's. NTs don't make mega bucks after all.

Turner will be paid like a top Guard and will get it.

Short might be the only one we lose but I don't even see that happening. He's had an average season. Unless gets 7-8 more sacks, he lost market value.

Until the Panthers win a Super Bowl it's going to be difficult to argue they should just do the same thing. Especially when Super Bowl winning teams lately have been acquiring top talent defensive backs in free agency or from the draft prior to their runs.

Again, not worth the price especially since he's accumulating penalties like Browner. Soooooo..

Let it go. 

What else would you rather spend some of our $25m in cap space this year on. Norman or collecting interest

We didn't have weak DBs in 2015...and that seemed to work out pretty well for us. 

I don't endorse stacking at one or two spots thinking they will make up for the shortcomings on your roster.  Not a fan of that.  It's the NFL, injury bug can and does take our any positional group.  If you aren't well rounded you simply are asking for it.

      XL about to turn the corner

      Tbf Darnolds last few games here were on par for "good Darnold." Some good decisions and some bad. He had extended success with the Vikings but he still had plenty of poor decisions. Still better than anything we have here. I've always been a Darnold fan and I hope that he finds continued success as a veteran.

      I honestly hope he figures it out, but at this point we have little reason to think that he will. He's been even worse than he was as a rookie, which is tough to do. I see no reason he shouldn't be bumped down the depth chart once Coker is back. Jalen is the better player and it's not even remotely close right now. That would if nothing else allow XL to be moved around to where he's in the best position to contribute instead of forcing him into a role he's clearly not ready for and may never be ready for.

      I think a lot of this stems from how well some of our FA acquisitions / trades played after leaving us. But there's a lot of important caveats there, and I think in Mayfield's case he needed to hit rock bottom (yes, we are rock bottom) to bounce back. He seems much less arrogant in TB. Darnold was, for Darnold, playing well here when we moved on from him too.  I think you are right. I also think we can't wait another 3 years to see if the offense turns around. XL needs to start his turn around this year. And Bryce needs to at least return to how he played the last half of his 2nd year.  Or, imo, we move on from both.
