For context, he had 6 drops last year for a rate of 8%, those 6 drops actually game in 3 games. 4 drops for 4.4% the year prior.
He did have 2 in the playoffs for a rate of 22%. 1 drop the previous post season.
Looking him up, definitely seems to have the slightly chunkier Spencer Brown body type.
I know his production was low, but he's been a 3-4 NT his whole career so far (I think).
We need to add 24 players to get to the 90 man mark, we still have note worthy roles at TE3, CB2a, and NT2 to fill.
I don't know how many needle movers we will see, but there will be additions.
I do kind of wonder if the Matt Milano replacement is actually Terrell Bernard and we see Dorian Williams take over at MLB. Odds are probably low, but each player's physical skill set definitely translates better to the opposite LB position.
NFL is all about matchups and role players.
One of the guys on that list found himself in a nice situation last year and received a nice payday this summer.
I like Benford, but he's not in the 25-30m AYV league IMO.
His average completion percentage the last 2 years is right around 65% with (I think) 4 INTs.
Stingly's 2 year average is 47% with 10 INTs.
I get they are different types of CBs and what Benford does, he's very good at it.
