Budda Baker makes that situation trickier. Honestly, if we keep Vance long term, moving Budda as long long as Thompson will sign for less would be smart. No reason to pay a S all that money to play deep zone and not get interceptions. Maybe Vance changes how he uses Budda this year, but if not, just wasting a bunch of money.
What I'm trying to point out is there are posts here quoting the defense's DOVA rankings and saying they were pretty good and the defense ranked fairly high overall yet when it comes to Joseph he catches a lot of heat for having a crappy defense. I don't see how you can have both unless one of them is not what it appears to be. Either the DVOA rankings are pretty accurate and Joseph is a better DC than given credit for or the DOVA is really crap and Joseph is a pretty bad DC.
Why you gotta go and bring up Reddick? Letting him walk still stings. We had CJ’s replacement already on the roster!
The logical choice should be extending the younger and more complete safety in the roster and trading the expensive one who has some limitations on his game and invest the money on a true cb1
Think the most logical choice is to keep good players, not trade them away.
But there is the salary cap and its dumb paying big bucks 2 safeties
We only have like 2M in cap space. No moves are going to be made, unless Keim does a move to free up money first.
Your right. This must have been prior to the draft picks signing or something.
I believe it goes on a reserve list. They'll have to account for any bonus/guaranteed money that was paid ($2 million per OTC), and it nets a $500k cap savings (I think).
Yeah I'd be a little sickened if they went after that money.
