We need to sign Eli Apple

Apple is straight dookie.  Makes Deion Sanders look like Lawrence Taylor as a tackler.

Eli Apple sucks.

[WarHeel]

Nah

[imminent rogaine]

Lol might as well bring Daryl Worley back. Or just save the money and not have a second cornerback. 

[TheSpecialJuan]

Points for saying Dookie ha

[Thorrez]

Would be a good vet minimum special teamer and solid back up. 

The problem is there is no way his first round ego will accept that and there is always some coach/gm combo that think "they can bring out the potential" and over pay. 

Stay away

[Carolina Cajun]

I think I'd rather us sign an actual apple.

[Wes21]

I'd rather sign Fiona Apple to play CB

[SOJA]

rather dave Denard, Apple is overrated

This should help visualize it.

Eli Apple, career:

Donte Jackson, career:

 

The general feeling / opinion I've seen and heard floating around is that Donte Jackson regressed last year.  In his regression, DJ managed to have as many interceptions last year (from 10 starts of 13 games played) as Eli Apple has in his career.  Last year, in 15 starts from 15 games, Eli Apple managed only four passes defensed while DJ had 8.

Those stats don't scream "sign me".  DJ could have had a sophmore slump.  DJ was playing on a historically bad defense last year.  DJ had the defensive system changed on him for the second time in two years.  Basically, there is still hope for DJ. 

Eli Apple is now a four year veteran.  We know who he is.  His stats have been pretty similar year over year, with the exception of 2018, where he played like an average NFL corner.

Vet minimum 1 year deal and fully expecting to cut him before the final roster bad. I would rather bring Cockrell back.
