Danielle Hunter Trade Rumors

[Khyber53]

So many rumors, so little real news.

Evero's scheme focuses much more on having a really good secondary.  The dline and linebackers are pretty much plug and play with players that can do their role.

It’s the most dead part of the offseason and probably year as a whole. Nothing to talk about much outside of theoretical moves with minor evidence.

Having an elite front that can consistently apply pressure greatly lessens the need for superior talent in the secondary. Remember how good our 2013 defense was with a bunch of no-names in the backend? We had an excellent unit up front to mask deficiencies in the back.

If they can create a consistently strong pass rush, the backend doesn't have to elite.  

Nit saying we can't use more talent and CB, but I don't see any starting quality CBs laying around. 

With Donte and Jaycee being recurring question marks we could easily bring in Marcus Peters, Casey Hayward or even Byrce Callahan and still be somewhat competitive on the back end. Off the street any of those options serve as an immediate upgrade over Keith & CJ. Specifically CJ. 

It's a reason the staff isn't actively searching for replacements. But I do agree CB is far and away a more pressing need than edge.

As long as Burns, Chinn, Shaq and Luvu are on the same field we can manufacture pressure in this scheme.

People were so skeptical pre-draft that the team needed another legitimate value plug at CB. Some people got angry at the suggestion.

Even without the Horn injury. Achilles are not a one-off-season kind of recovery injury.

it’s probably going to be really rough in the secondary this season unless something unexpected happens

Yep, although if we can't find any decent CB's at some point, upgrading the pass rush opposite Burns can also help out a young and no so great secondary.  That with some quality Safeties that we have, it's not an end of the world scenario, but it's certainly not a great CB outlook right now.

That time of year. Will be slow until July.

Yep, just my annual gripe about the slow season.

Can we really afford to pay both Burns and Hunter long-term?

No longer an issue--Jets got him--I think.  Saw it on facebook, where they gave a second, third, and fourth rounder--can't find it anywhere else (just started looking)

This is, well I feel there needs to be more time to where this new and all the new players come together. Plus, CJ Henderson is still here in his contract year..
