Sign him and just admit Moehrig stinks

Wouldn't even be that. We still need two starting safeties. It would be more saying that Nick Scott stinks (facts) and we don't want to be backed into relying on a 4th round rookie.

I don't see any harm in kicking the tires.

I hope I'm wrong about Moehrig but I never understood backing up the Brinks truck for him. He's the type of safety you can generally grab for pretty cheap and lo and behold here's a better version of Moehrig available on the trash heap on the eve of the season.

You gotta think he is going to have options.  For him to come here its going to be with the panther tax with god knows how many years. I would rather just play the young guy, roll the money and focus on 26 in making a real push to see what we have.

He got overpayed for cleanup tackles on a crap D. That's like giving Wallace that kind of deal IMO.

I don’t think better version is the right phrase. Even looking at their grades, you can see they’re extremely different players. One is an elite run defender that struggles in coverage and can get to the QB when asked. The other is coverage first, and does not get to the QB when asked. 
 

after what I saw on the field last season I still have 0 issues at all with us getting a safety who can enforce run d

Those are the types of safeties you can get on the cheap. Safeties get paid for coverage unless you're stuck in the 80s and 90s.

Peppers:

We could've literally done better off the trash heap.

Look like the perfect compliment to me.

If it was said Julius Peppers is available, I would listen.

If that’s true, why were the top 4 highest FA safeties this year all above 70 run grade and below 60 coverage grade? While Peppers is getting cut?
