Donte Jackson to(o) valuable to trade away

[ncfan]

Forget opening up another 10-15 mil this offseason by dumping him.

Donte is to(o) hard to replace in Fitty’s eyes

Our CB #1 is made of glass that's been soaking in dry ice. I kindly agree that Donte is at an extremely valuable intersection of performance and affordability for a rebuilding team. We can neither afford to get worse, nor more expensive in the secondary.

[Waldo]

Yeah he is an absolute moron an might be worse than even I thought. 

[Growl]

He should’ve been regarded as a backup this season coming off the injury, allowing him to stay in game shape, still contribute, while not putting such a big workload on him, as you anticipated getting him back to full strength next season. 
 

His game is centered around being a quick twitch guy and with that asset diminished he was always going to struggle this season. Genuinely befuddling how they were so sure he was going to simply pick up where he left off.

Donte has been about as injury prone as Horn.  And hasn’t been nearly as good when has even been on the field.

 I was praying they’d trade him a couple years ago at the deadline but instead held onto him then gave him a new contract smh

This defense is trash as a whole and the money we’re spending on Jackson could be put to a lot better use in terms of helping Young’s development

Yeah at least when Jaycee’s on the field he’s a legit shutdown travel corner. Those are rare. Donte is someone you should be able to replace through the draft

He is so blah at best. He is the type of player you trade before his first big contract and never look back. Now he is their reliable CB. Just lol. Friterer is such a loser.

Where does it say Fitt doesn't want to trade him?  I think the author of the article is just stating quality corners are hard to replace.

The point is that the potential return on Donte wouldn't be worth the loss. Don't be obtuse. Saving $1 million in cap space to get back something like a 6th round pick when we have zero cb depth as is would be an absurd decision.

If it were only 1 mil sure.

but we’re talking 10-15 mil.

which ain’t worth holding onto a mid CB for that

10 mil in cap plus a 6th would be absurd to turn down for Donte.

Donte is the worst tackler on the team and gets burned consistently by decent WR's - but hey he is cheap so let's start him.....

12 mil a year ain’t cheap for the production on the field
