Voth seems to think that he'll be coming back here...

 

 

 

Of course many here probably still remember his comments about Funchess and about how our team can't come back from being down which he talked more about than most would think to, but aside from those very minor comments this really does make perfect sense. Captain has been by far our best nickel corner in the Rivera era and would be huge for Wilks to dial up some more corner blitzes, to have another veteran presence back there, and another playmaker in the secondary. I really like LJ and would absolutely love to bring him back but Captain is definitely an upgrade on him and having both of them would provide excellent depth there, especially since Captain is capable of jumping outside occasionally if needed to spell Daryl or James or if they go out with a minor injury. Thoughts on bringing him back? And maybe we'll bring Major Wright in this time for real and have both a Captain and a Major in our secondary. I'm sure Rivera would love that leadership.

I'd rather he not come back.  He's not an upgrade anymore.  For depth on the cheap? Sure.

Have you watched him play with the Vikings? He's absolutely still an upgrade. One of the best nickel corners in the league right now and fits extremely well in Rivera's scheme where he'll be even better.

Why wouldn't we? Not gonna cost anything. No reason not to have him back for camp at least and go from there.

"They" told me the organization isn't too high on him. I'm with you though - no reason not to have him for depth. He seems like only a Nickel guy though - is it normal to have more than one Nickel on an active roster or outside guys who could play inside in case of emergency?

Interesting. Thanks for chiming in with this. I guess it would depend on ability to play ST (which I don't think LJ has) and if he can move outside temporarily. Captain can do that not sure if LJ can. But if you think about having Captain as our nickel and LJ backing him up there, with Captain's ability to move outside and LJ able to replace him at nickel if that happens I don't think it would be bad to have two nickels like that on the roster. Not sure if RR would do that though. With this though it seems more likely we target a reunion with Captain.

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      generally speaking, going by the original NFL international marketing rights announcement... we would expect to host a Germany home game once every four years.  Doesn't mean we would play internationally only then, just the guarantee home game situation things might have changed since then, if they figure out how to play at more stadiums during a season to expand the number of "home" teams available

      Schedule Release: Leaks and Rumors

      Munich won't happen. It's a Lions home game in Munich, but we play the Lions at home at BOA Most likely to happen would be Madrid vs the Falcons (although KC has been pushing hard for this one). From a schedule perspective, it would be interesting to have an early November Madrid game (then the bye week), then close out the season at BOA for the 2nd game vs the falcons.  In other words, put the two division games in the 2nd half of the season Paris vs the Saints has long been rumored to be the Browns (but... never say never) We wouldn't play Munich, Melbourne, Mexico City, London, or Rio based on who those announced home teams happen to be

      Moton's knees were an issue before last season. He will be 32 before the season starts and gets 14.2M in '26 and 21.5M for '27 (not guaranteed). LT Icky and Rasheed Walker are signed through '26 and Freeling through '30 (option); LG Lewis signed through '28, C Fortner through '26 and Hecht through '29; RG Hunt through '28, RG Moton through '27.  They did a good job shoring up that oline.  We can have a starting oline of: LT Freeiling, LG Lewis, C Hecht, RG Hunt, and RT Moton pretty much locked up through the '27 season (will just take a Moton option to do). That's good because we need to be ready to pull the trigger with next year's QB class.
