Safety Market

Recommended Posts

I think a trade is more likely than a signing, unless someone unexpected gets cut.

We'll give Gaulden a legit shot at FS. Reid has SS on lock. Behind them, I expect we'll keep Colin Jones and Cole Luke.

Blanding and Nacua are dark horse candidates. Ballard might have a slim chance.

We just don't value the safety position enough for it to be a concern. Especially the center fielder FS spot.

I love Tre Boston begging someone to sign his sorry ass.  Sorry, bro.  You aren't good at football.

I suspect it is less about him as a football player and more him as a team cancer and locker room distraction. Not to say he is anything more than an average safety

Yep, I was definitely wrong on that. Maybe it truly was collusion, because the market doubled from 2018 to 2019. That included Matthieu who was a FA both years giving us a perfect apples to apples comparison. I typically shoo away the conspiracy theories, because there were so many FA safeties and draftees that you could say in 2018 the position was marginalized and there was an oversupply but the almost identical situation birthed a completely different result one year later so I can’t really shoo away the thought that maybe part of it really was about making a point to Reid. 

Yeah it really does make you wonder. It could be a product of this year being a stronger FA class but even still, it was a real explosion.

    • Would be happy with Lomu or Iheanachor at 19. Fano is intriguing but I don't think he makes it.
    • II see it this way: We have to look at long-term needs and current depth.  We have filled some key spots with players on one-year contracts.  I firmly believe that they intend to pay Bryce some big bucks next year.  That means you cannot hope that your rookies in 2027 can fill the spots vacated by the veterans you could not afford to re-sign.   We need to consider the cap and the fact that the need to start a rookie is not viewed as a positive by coaches and general managers, but they value first contracts--so it is a delicate balance. I think they have to look at the cap by position--"Can we afford a $50m QB and a $100m OL?  That is half the cap, before you pay your WRs and RBs and TEs.  They need to start getting younger on the OL as well.   I am not suggesting that we draft OT in round 1, but we could and I would get it.  RT on a 1-year deal, they may have intel about Ickey (who was not the best LT, to be honest) and 32-year old Moton is on a bad wheel.   Now if you go by Morgan's history, you can almost tell what position we are going to address with the first pick by noting the positions he has not focused on in free agency.  DT, considering the lack of performance by those not named Derrick Brown and the loss of Robinson, is screaming to be addressed with a top player.  Wharton is not an early down DT (DE if you want to get technical) and our LBs need to be clean--they were not in 2025.  Look for a DT early. I also think we will address ILB (pass covering Will) on day 2.  The other day 2 pick will be an OT, in my view. Do not rule out CB.  We are thin there too, and Jackson is in his final year.  I am not sure that we love Smith-Wade.  Some crackhead on here talked about moving him to S----stay tuned.   Hopefully, a team wanting Ty Simpson will move up and offer us a pick or two to move back. DT WILB OT OC QB  (you heard it here 337th--but this pick could come sooner than you think.      
    • Bryce had some bad games, but he had some good ones as well (and this is coming from a Bryce skeptic). I think it's a little simplistic to put all the offensive woes on Bryce, you also should be looking at O-line play, receiver play, RB and TE play, and also coaching. There's no way when I look at the offense in it's totality am I ready to say that a so-so to bad offense was all on Bryce, and, I also can't say that we don't need to upgrade any position on offense, save Tetairoa McMillan (who also wasn't perfect) and maybe the starting guards and T-mo.
