Seems like a decent way to clear some cap space and add depth to the Safety position. He shouldn't start, but DBs get injured. He'd be a good asset as a 2nd or 3rd stringer if he's willing to accept that pay.

Bingo

 

He can always fill in later on at CB if we truly needed him and at this point FS / backup CB at a cheaper rate makes more sense

Agreed. This is a no-Brainer.

 

He also provides great depth at corner. The people in his back for 1 bad game this year forget that he is basically a third string CB. You are not going to get elite production from a 3rd stringer.

 

But having him as a backup safety/corner with the ability to play dime seems like a good move.

In the article Dunn says "Every time someone leaves this locker room, that player seems to have success"

I hear people say this a lot, it just isn't true. Besides Marshawn Lynch, who has left here in the last 10 years and had success?

Levitre and Byrd both suck.

Stevie has done nothing since leaving.

Lil' Donte has bounced around and done nothing.

Kiko sucks

 

Fitz has bounced around and is having his best season this year.

 

But people make it sound like every guy who leaves Buffalo turns into a star.

How about from a veteran first round draft pick?

it is a very odd line by Dunne. I'd say the opposite is true, at least recently.

Leo has made some great plays this year thinking of that time he sniffed out the screen and the INT where he wrestled the ball out of the receiver's hand. The latter was especially huge given the game, score and field position. Leo doesn't play like a loser.

I don't know. I have always though McKelvin has all of the physical skill needed, but poor instincts. I think safety is a position where good instincts are essential.

 

I would love to have him as a backup.

Whitner was successful after leaving. I really didn't like the guy, but he played better after he left.
