Butler and Bradberry are 3rd year players. They have to show something

Bradbery is a solid number 2 corner. He does very well I think against larger WRs. For example he always seems to do well against players like Mike Evans.

One thing that always seems lacking in him are personality traits of a great CB. He seems very reserved and never gives off the vibe of wanting to be a shutdown CB. My hope is that Jackson can turn into our number 1 so Bradberry can be our number 2 which is ideal. 

Butler always flashed once a game but is not effective on the other 20 plays. He needs consistency. Unfortunately with his injury history I have little faith he will turn into what we need him to be. I still trust Kyle Love more than him.

Like Chris Gamble? Everyone doesn't have to be Norman or Revis.

Chris Gamble was a good CB but wasn't close to a shutdown or even a pro bowl CB. 

Honestly,  that is a perfect comparison. Players solid,  not spectacular and in this NFL Gamble would be a good #2 CB

Gamble could be up and down at times, but his 2011 season (first with Rivera) was elite.  He shut down everyone.

Nah, Gamble was excellent. The years where his INTs dropped were the years where opposing teams just quit throwing to his side of the field. The guy was phenomenal and would be considered one of the elites if he had been any good at self-promotion. 

He lined up and quietly took care of business throughout his career.

    • Kalkbrenner and Sion James received regular contracts and not two ways, so the Hornets have some work to do to cut the roster size down. 
    • Gustavsson would be insane. I think we would have to break the bank to afford that move. Which, I don't think is necessarily a bad idea. Ultimately, Freddie isn't likely to be around more than a couple of seasons more. We can all agree that unless they have a fleet of sports psychologists working on Kochetkov, he will never be capable of getting his head on straight enough to compete.
    • I originally hated the Miller deal but with the cap projected to rise nearly $10M next season the Canes struck some pretty good deals between Miller and Ehlers. Most of the team is locked in for the next few years. Nikishin will need an extension probably in the $6M AAV range. And Blake will need one if we don’t move him. Personally I’d move Blake, picks, and any prospect not named Nikishin/Nadeau/Artamonov for McTavish as I don’t see any any of the big time players moving teams next year. Realistically the Hurricanes should just target Gustavsson next year to fix the goal tending issue. But I’m all for moving Blake, picks, and prospects for McTavish this year. Ehlers - Aho - Jarvis Svechnikov - McTavish - Stankoven Martinook - Staal - Carrier Hall - Kotkaniemi - Robinson Jost - Jankowski Slavin - Miller Nikishin - Chatfield Gostisbehere - Walker Reilly Andersen Kochetkov I’d do Blake, Felix-Unger-Sorum, and 27 2nd for McTavish.
