Xavier Rhodes was just cut by the Vikings. Still in his prime, and he was just a pro bowl DB last year. Could be a cheaper replacement option for Bradberry. Rhodes is another tall physical DB who loves to press and play man to man. He wasn't the same player since the Vikings used him as a zone DB.

Is Rhodes worth the look?

Wow. That's unexpected.

Yeah I was shocked when I saw the news. Vikings fans say he is still elite they just playing him in the wrong defense. He's not good in a zone defense. Put him back in man and he will be elite again.

Either way he will cost to sign, just not as much as Bradberry. I rather have Rhodes at 10mil than Bradberry at 15.

I am kind of sick of zone CBs. Probably due to the soft zone we have played for years but I just would like to see more man from CBs.

No idea if he has issues or whatnot but seems like he could be worth a look. If he is what he was, probibly get a crazy contract taking us out of the running.

if you guys think donte is bad you're in for a whole world of pain if we sign rhodes lol, dude was a total liability idk how he made the probowl but we said the same thing about trai turner

His decline began to rear its head in 2018, but this past season, it reached full-fledged free fall. 87 different cornerbacks saw 50 targets into their coverage in 2019, and none of them allowed a higher completion rate into their coverage than Rhodes did. His 84.3% completion rate allowed was the worst of that bunch by over 4%. Rhodes was never as dominant as the league-wide reputation that he commanded, but he regressed significantly to borderline unplayable this season.

Holy poo! 84.3% completion rate? LOL!

I could manage that... as long as I could cover Devin Funchess. He'd drop 16% of those wide ass open passes.

      Trade deadline

      By TheSpecialJuan · Posted

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
