Breeland visiting other teams

[Mr. Scot]

Breeland set for visits with Colts, Cardinals

The physical will, of course, be important.

[Palmetto]

He'll be able to pass a physical soon and should be on a team by training camp

Possible.

Definitely won't be us, of course.

I think we dodged a major bullet with this one. 

[Captain Morgan]

I don't know, sounds like the kind of injury he could recover from quickly.  Wouldn't be surprised if turns into a good starter for someone.

[Soul Rebel]

I wish him the best of luck elsewhere and do wish he would've been here initially. However, he f'd up withholding that info about his injury, so he is a free agent and I don't have a lot of remorse for his status...he will get signed once he's healthy. Also not a fan of his attitude on twitter as if the teams (Carolina) are giving him a chip on his shoulder as if it wasn't his fault that he's in the situation he is in.

Two sides of the coin.... 

1. - I doubt we sign a DT like Poe if we sign Breeland. I think Cockrell + Poe > Breeland + some rando free agent DT.

2. - If we did sign Breeland, I doubt we go Jackson in R2. Probably could've went with Reid or Guice in R2 and held off on CB until later.... so his injury definitely affected our Draft, along with our FA spending.

Defensive tackle wasn't a necessity. You'll all find out come game one. BTW Breeland is much better than Jackson so that isn't even a comparison. Proven vet versus undersized nickel corner.

Breeland & Terrell Mcclain 

vs

Cockrell & Poe

Don't know the numbers and its possible we could have ended up squeezing in both Breeland & Poe. 

What I do know is, one of the above pairings upgrades a single position while the other upgrades two.

Yeah let's go into the season with Butler who stays hurt and does nothing. Man your so negative and I'm starting to think the dumbest poster on here.

I want him back, def a upgrade

Voth says there's pretty much no chance of that.

[PantherOnTheProwl1523]

Wasn't Breeland the player that stopped Kamara each time he tried to run.

[Snake]

From what I heard there was possible nerve damage involved with his cut. It might not be a big deal or maybe it is.

Cockrell is an upgrade...esp over Worley. No question. Apparently, we beat out the Giants and Vikings in signing him.

Dunno how much stock to put into pff ratings.... but per last season Breeland was the 54th ranked CB in the league while Ross was the 39th. He also finished the year "first in Football Outsiders’ success rate, which measures cornerbacks on their ability to consistently stop opposing wideouts short of the sticks".
