Should we have signed Richard Marshall, assuming he would have stayed?

I mean the guy only signed a one year deal, and we are about 8 million under the cap. His contract dollar amount is not listed on rotoworld, but I am guessing it is 3-4 million.

I think we would all thought we were going to upgrade at the 2CB, but now that seems unlikely.

Trust me, I am not one to second guess every decision by the FO, and I don't know what kind of locker room guy he was, but this seems so weird that we let our own draft pick walk, especially since we are so thin at the position.

he wanted out, like Pep.. we should have traded him, like Pep, even if it was for a bag of chips..

I was thinking that it wasn't necessarily about getting out, I thought it was more about him getting paid. I guess he could have felt disrespected by not being offered an extension, but hell, nobody was.

Wish we could have signed him to a one year deal.

Now this could be it, I did not know of any personal stuff between him and the staff.

One of the first times I got to watch a practice, Meeks called Marshall out rather loudly. That happens with coaches, of course, but that plus things I read from interviews with Marshall (and speculation about him) gave me the impression he and Meeks weren't the best of friends. If so, then Meeks being retained as DB coach probably didn't help.

I haven't been a big fan of Marshall as a starter, but objectively is he better than what we have now? Probably :(

Some things are just inevitable though.

Marshall was a dickhead.

Best thing the Panthers could have done is to hold back on some of their overspending (like giving DLo maybe 10mil in guarantees instead of 20mil) and went and picked up another corner. Banking on Hogan not only playing, but playing well, was a mistake.

He was far and away better than any of our other corners not named Gamble, but for the last 2-3 years I just remember him constantly bitching. It's too bad Gettis went down, because it would have been fun to see him burn Marshall for a TD. I just can't believe they didn't pick up a guy like Rogers. He's on a 1 year deal in SF not making a whole lot in the grand scheme of things.

      It is time to Consider the Likelihood of WR at #19

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.

      Draft intel from ESPN’s Jordan Reid

      By TD alt · Posted

      Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be.

      Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
