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.

    • AT got what he deserved. Be gone and enjoy those 4 catches and the bench and your pay cut
    • we have been bad offensively basically every game Rico Dowdle hasn't gone full Tecmo Bowl Bo Jackson on folks.  
    • Strongly disagree with the premise here. Without getting too into it, the biggest gripe for many has always been his footwork and pocket presence.  Shallow drops, happy feet, bad awareness - his overall technique is highly unconventional and not beneficial to his size/frame.  His upper body gets mad out of sync with his lower, drops back parallel to the LOS, erratic behavior. When you take that to the NFL level, you get swallowed up. And he got shellshocked and started bailing way too soon on plays. Unnecessary throwaways when he should step UP into the pocket and hit.   He got away with it in school because sooo much of his work was out of structure or quick hits to Jamo.  He was able to not bail early and stick in the pocket this last game. He also was dropping deeper than he usually does to create sight lanes. He can’t really outrun DLs so he needs to create that space via drop to survey properly. When he does these bs skip hops in the gun, he barely drops and is flooded. He needs to stay active with his feet but learn to step into the pocket more.  His average arm when he’s not doing this right turns Pennington esque.
