We also have about 15 free agents, and Eric Berry is more of a luxury rather than fixing a position of need. 

A move that makes sense going hard for is Cyprien, whom PFF graded the same as Berry. He's a SS that will fill in our need, Berry really isn't.

yeah lets keep everyone from a 6-10 team. Makes sense.

fug PFF. Ok I don't necessarily dispute their grades or have anything bad to say about their work at all but some of you religiously believe whatever that site sputes. Eye test > PFF grades. Berry > Cyprien.

Not saying Berry isn't talented, just saying there's a solid guy that others see similar to Berry at a position of need.

People will justify something like this with PFF grades one minute and then bash it for making someone look bad the next.

I also think that maybe if Berry's character is true, he could come here for less for a chance to win.

DG wants to build the front 7 . We are more likely to go after a pass rusher than a safety . Get pressure up front consistently and the safety position becomes less important. This is the Gettleman way.

I agree and adding a safety like Hyde instead of Berry makes more sense with how DG looks to build the defense!

People would bash him for thinking Carolina has a better chance at a championship than KC. But he knows whats really good.

What are you talking about? How does Cyrprien fill a need and Berry doesn't? They're both strong safeties. 

Cyprien isn't even in the same league as Berry. Cyrprien's PFF grade is only close to Berry's because Jacksonville REALLY limited Cyprien's coverage duties (because he struggles in coverage) and basically kept him as a in-box safety. 

Where as Berry led the Chiefs secondary with his 'coverage grade'. Berry is one hell of an athlete and can cover any tight end in the league. In a dominant passing league these days both your safeties need to be able to cover

Does anyone really want Jacksonville's trash?

I'd take Cyprien here. Wouldn't put him above Berry, but Berry was never an option for me. 

I'd be happy with any of:

Jefferson

Swearinger

Cyprien

Hyde

Harmon

Church

Lots to like on the FA market for our safety needs.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
