Our CB situation could get very interesting this offseason as there seems to be a growing chance Gamble will be cut. If he is we HAVE to go CB in round 1 or 2. Cutting Gamble saves money so I think it's a move we need to make.

Munnerlyn is a free agent and even if we keep him he's more of a nickel/3 guy

But Josh Thomas played well in my opinion and deserves a big opportunity next year. I think no matter what he played well enou to earn a shot to be the #2 guy. Am I crazy? He seems to play well in the run game and really thrived when he got his chance this year.

Yeah I think he's a #2 CB guy. If we lose Gamble, we need to bring in a #1 type guy in the draft/FA. Hopefully Norman develops in the offseason too.

Yep this is pretty much what I'm thinking. Cutting/trading Gamble looks like a must right now. At 14 overall or even in round 2 we should definitely be able to find a really solid replacement that can be just as good.

Thomas seems solid but can he be a playmaker? It would be nice if he added some size. I think his main problem is covering bigger receivers though he is physical. Receivers that got the best of him weren't scrubs.

Cutting Gamble doesn't convince me we need a corner more than DT/OL. The secondary played well above expectations considering who was back there. The times where it looked bad was when they couldn't stop the run, which was when Edwards went down.

I wish we could add talent to both DT and CB/S early in the draft but it doesn't seem possible.

Finally a thread with potential. My personal opinion of Josh Thomas is that his play had more to do with the excellence of our front 4 this year, and less about him going out there and being a baller. This is true about our entire secondary tho. Look at Godfrey's numbers the years where we have decent line play and the years we dont. The guy puts up pro-bowl stats.

I really liked him and Dockery toward the end of the season. They both made some plays. Played the ball well when it was in the air. Were able to cover receivers long enough on some sacks so the d line could get there. Cant wait see what they look like after the off season. The only two corners worth taking in the first to me are Milliner and Banks who could both possibly be gone by the time we pick. Dont really want to go corner in the first tho, wouldnt mine the second round and down.

      So the last guy who had the job got hired by his former team directly into a role he has no direct experience in?

      Hard to pass up millions for a couple of days work per week for a coaching gig in the NFL that is 60-80 hours each week during the season and a more relaxed 50 hours a week during the off season. Yeah, I'd love to see him as our DC but hard to see him giving up the cushy job there if he gets it. And he's going to be a great commentator for the network.

      2027: Sharing my thoughts on the cap without a lotta research

      Really, I think that is where negotiations come in. If you've got a QB getting you to 10 wins but statistically he's not a great performer, then you say look you can take $22 million or you can try it on the market. Because let's face it, out there, any leadership skills that we're seeing aren't going to be on the table, it's just going to be performance and that lands him in the QB2 market, which is much, much less lucrative (although any of us would love that money).  No one is saying that Bryce will be a $50 million QB, barring something short of a miraculous jump. I'm just saying that if we are winning somehow with him at the helm, then it would be fuging stupid to dive back into the rookie pool all over again. Let's say we do hit the 10 win mark, heck, let's call it 11 and a second round in the playoffs. I think we can all say that would be a really uplifting result and one that should be doable if we have good play. What do we do then? Here's what I would offer if I were Morgan and Tepper. $25 million a year for 3 years, each year with up to $10 million in incentives for touchdowns, wins, playoff depth, being under 10 interceptions, completing a full season, passing yardage milestones, taking less than 15 sacks. Look, Bryce isn't a Ferrari, he isn't a Corvette, or a mid-level BMW. He's probably a new Toyota Sienna that will definitely get you somewhere and bring the whole team along with it, no fuss but not a lot of pizazz.  And really, it's about the destination, not about what drove you there.
