Free agent Bashaud Breeland has visits with the Raiders and Chiefs next week.

Breeland met with the Colts and Arizona after his three-year deal with the Panthers voided, but this is his first interest since May. The Raiders have talked up Gareon Conley as a starter but Breeland would be an upgrade opposite Rashaan Melvin, while the Chiefs have question marks at corner after trading Marcus Peters. Four months removed from foot surgery, Breeland is likely going to have to settle for less than the $8M annually he landed earlier this offseason.

This was such a disappointing turn of events. This would've arguably been our best offseason had this gone according to plan and it would've set up our secondary to be a pretty doggone good element of our defense. Shame it didn't work out. Hoping Cockrell can fill this role or that Seymour has a remarkable improvement.

Don’t care. Cockrell was the right choice here. It was the smarter move. Unfortunately, can’t give Hurney credit since his hand was forced due to Breeland’s injury.

Regardless, when considering cap space/costs, Cockrell is by far the better, smarter option.

A healthy Poe/CJ is far more important to us than a not healthy Breeland. Our D-Line should be nasty this year. If Hall and the other young DEs step up a bit and play well enough in rotation, the DEs and DTs will be stocked and well rested. Peppers, Addison, Horton, Hall/Cox/Haynes, Short, Poe, Butler and Love is full of talent and deep.

If Cockrell or Jackson can man the CB2 well, it'll be fun to watch.

I’ve said it a dozen times.  Horton will break out this season.  His stats and overall performnce has been on the incline the last two seasons.  We went from a JAG to a good role player last season, making a couple of huge plays.  This is the year he breaks out with 8+ sacks.

It honestly wouldn't surprise me too much. I think he could get 3-5 sacks as a floor which would still be great. He's also huge in the run game.

I've only heard you say that 5 times

Who cares? He isn't a panther 

The Panthers chose to back out of the deal. They weren't required to do so. And it's being reported that he's healthy now.

If he actually has a really good year like was expected, there are people who are probably going to be royally pissed.

Not me though, honestly. When you judge a past decision, you always have to look at what you knew at the time. using that criteria, I think the team made the right call.

I said it before. My source told me he has nerve damage in his foot. Teams unless desperate will pass because the amount of money he wants. 

This would honestly make a lot of sense just judging this from an outsiders perspective. 

Was his foot infection really bad? Yes. Bad enough to back out of the deal? Maybe. But if there is nerve damage then I can 100% see backing out.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
