'He conveniently forgot that Darby was drafted to fit Rex Ryan's scheme that asks corners to primarily play man-to-man coverage and that Darby is going to find himself in a different role in the zone-oriented defense of new coach Sean McDermott and defensive coordinator Leslie Frazier – a role that just might not suit him as well.'

'If there was any doubt the "one voice" policy was simply in place to keep Whaley as far from any live microphone as possible, that should have been erased after listening to the former general manager's meandering, 17-minute interview with SiriusXM NFL Radio on Monday afternoon.'

'Streater, 29, is coming off of a 2016 season in which he caught 18 passes for 191 yards and two touchdowns with the San Francisco 49ers. Before joining the 49ers in 2016, Streater had spent the first four seasons of his career with the Raiders.'

'The 26 year old Hodges was productive last year in San Francisco, racking up 80 tackles, 3 sacks, and 2 interceptions for the 49ers after not having nearly that kind of production for the Vikings his first three years in the league.

With the Falcons, DiMarco was a great blocker, but he would also flex from the backfield to the formation as a receiver everywhere from the slot to out wide.'
