Free Agent Cornerbacks/Safetys


Dex

Recommended Posts

We are most likely keeping Gamble, Hogan, Godfrey and Munnerlyn. Possibly Butler if he comes cheap. So that leaves around 5 possibly slots between promoting from practice squad, free agency and the draft. Now I see us picking up Casey Hayward in the 4th because I'm not totally sold on picking up Kirkpatrick with that pick. So we have some possibilities in free agency.

Cornerbacks

Cortland Finnegan, Tennessee Titans (Drew Brees is in our division.)

Brent Grimes, Atlanta Falcons

Carlos Rogers, San Francisco 49ers (We should have got him last year no way he leaves San Fran.)

Brandon Carr, Kansas City Chiefs

Tracy Porter, New Orleans Saints

Rashean Mathis, Jacksonville Jaguars

Marcus Trufant, Seattle Seahawks

Terrell Thomas, New York Giants

Ronde Barber, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Eric Wright, Detroit Lions

Aaron Ross, New York Giants

William Gay, Pittsburgh Steelers

Richard Marshall, Arizona Cardinals (Bring him back for the league minimum.)

Tim Jennings, Chicago Bears

Alan Ball, Dallas Cowboys

Elbert Mack, Tampa Bay Buccaneers

Corey Graham, Chicago Bears

Zackary Bowman, Chicago Bears

Kelvin Hayden, Atlanta Falcons

I like the idea of this setup in order.

-Gamble

-Finnegan

-Hayward/Hogan/Butler

-Munnerlyn (ST Hero)

As for safeties have Rivera make a call and bring this man in with a nice restructured contract.

Oh I forgot no one ever changes their mind after the draft. My bad I guess this thread is GIF approved.

Were going to have to deal with that stupid response every time free agency discussion comes up, so you better settle in.

Rest assured, when we sign our first even relatively decent player I'm going to go ballistic on some folk. I've already got my list cooking,

Tracy Porter would be a nice signing with the Saints having to pay as many people as they do. Cortland Finnegan would be a lovely signing, we need someone with an attitude on defense, but I don't realistically see him leaving Tennessee.
Recently heard he's been somewhat disgruntled because he hasn't been taken care of yet. Also yes he is the Steve Smith of the Defense. Also Smitty vs CF practice should be interesting.

Also this is my mock.

#1 - Devon Still DT Penn State (Beast)

#2 - Sean Spence OLB Miami (Thomas Davis 2.0)

#4 - Casey Hayward CB Vanderbilt (Play maker & steal)

#5 - Brandon Mosley OT Auburn (Not Otah)

#6 - Shaun Powell P Florida State (Baker is bad)

#7 - D''Anton Lynn CB Penn State (Not Martin)

corey graham should be brought in since he's a special teams beast

don't think we can afford grimes, carr, finnegan, thomas, or anyone like that

no safeties available that i'm interested in either...

Yeah, no safeties interested me either. I'm not totally concerned with the Cap as of now with all these TV Deals coming but I like to keep an open mind because clearly Captain isn't the answer.

I like Brandon Carr and Aaron Ross. Remember we don't need a #1 corner just a #2. I think either of those guys could take on that role and be effective. There is also the chance Hogan could step up and be a#2 corner as well.

    • Round 1. TMac arguably the best WR in the draft Round 2. Scour ton mentioned as a possible 1st round edge.     Texas A&M did not use him the same way Purdue did. After the 2023 season he was listed as a first round grade. I believe had Texas A&M used him like they did at Purdue he never makes it out of round 1. Round 3 Princely Umanmielen, we'll go by Princely.  Another highly graded player we got in a lower round. As the video suggests, even if he plays only on passing down it's a positive. Give him a couple of years to develop a he could be a three down player.  Round 4a Etienne IMO a huge upgrade over Blackshear. I can see him in a similar role as CMC without the heavy workload. He can run in between the tackles and has some shifty moves. Give Canales some flexibility. A fellow huddler pointed out UGA running backs don't see the field if they cannot pick up the blitz. Really good pick. Round 4b Ransom a hard hitting safety that has played three different positions on defense. Great pick Round 5a Cam Jackson a massive NT in round 5. I believe a solid rotational pick in a lower round. We added a beast that could make offenses quiver when he's lined up with Brown. Great Value  Round 5b Evans This is another player that can block and has good hands. He also had better seasons before 2024. As a rookie he's probably leaps and bounds better than Ian Thomas. I think he gives us a three headed monster at TE.  Round 6 Horn Jr. Many believe he's just going to be a KR/PR player. I believe there are going to be packages for him to get on the field as a WR. His speed with TMac and Thielen in the slot could be special. I'm really looking forward to seeing him in training camp. I've watched some film and he is very explosive.  Overall I love our picks. I honestly believe all of them will contribute this season. I don't believe we reached on one player in this draft.  This weekend we get a small look at these rookies     
    • You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.
    • Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!
