I think secondary has definitely passed DL at this point. Big Money is Big Money, the Edwards wall is serviceable for a couple of years, and we look to have a real diamond in the rough with Alexander. Our backend, save for Gamble, is pretty shitty. Although I still won't be disappointed if we pick a pass-rushing freak because that's where games are always won - in the trenches.

I'm not sure how serviceable I feel the Edwards wall is, personally. We're getting gashed horribly by pretty much any running back teams care to throw our way. I do think S and CB have leapfrogged DE though.

DT > Seconday (S or CB - depending on Norman's progression) > Whatever else shakes loose as the season progresses

i'd like for us to continue to address DT in FA. i don't think we are fine there, i just don't think we should go out and draft DT...at least not early.

safety is probably the top need and there are a few good big safeties i'd like in the draft next year.

on the whole, i would rather we address needs in FA or via trade (preferably 3rd-7th round draft picks), and just go BPA in the draft.

one way or the other, i don't think we can go without trying to get more help in the secondary, specifically safety. i don't hate godfrey but i really don't like him being our best safety. we need to upgrade both safety starting spots.

Beasons missed tackles have had alot to do with that.

Yes, SAFETY has long been a need.

The lines are always where the game starts and stops, but think about all of the year-in and year-out elite defenses and their safety play - Polamalu, Reed, etc.

We've ignored it long enough. I think CB is solid, but we need to start looking for another starter in another 2-3 years as Gamble's career will be winding down. Outside of that depth at CB is a must. But safety needs a legitimate starter and depth.

I feel we go BPA between DT and S. This is the deepest DT draft in a long time.. there will be 5 DTs in the 1st round... I think it'd be hard to pass up a young athletic DT.. and think we can get a starting FS in the 2nd round.. someone like TJ McDonald from USC or Lester from Alabama.

There is only 1 safety worth taking in the 1st round, and that's Reid from LSU.. chances are, we go DT. I love the DT from Utah.. he is Samoan, and reminds me of Haloti Ngata.

I love the kid from NC State, David Amerson.. I know he is a CB, but he used to play FS, and think he could be an Ed Reed type mid-fielder. He has had like 20 INTs, in college so far.

and no more of this drafting a CB to play safety crap.

draft a safety to play safety. draft a CB to play CB. should be easy enough. no reason to try and out-think everyone.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
