I think that works for both sides. hopefully if he does prove it, he likes it here, and we aren't paying norman $$ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen a lot of mixed reviews about him but have heard some good things about his skill set and see where he might drop to the mid 3rd? (Though I have also seen him in round 1 in some places) No, I'm sure others can chime in. I'm an LSU fan and with my CFB watching being limited I didn't catch many other games this year. This community has a handful of guys who love grading players so I will be depending on them this year. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoloinOhio Posted February 27, 2018 Author Share Posted February 27, 2018 Just now, SouthNYfan said: i'm a little bummed it's a 1 year "prove it" deal what if he does "prove it" do we pony up top $$ for a 31 year old CB? i would have preferred a 2-3 year deal with heavy incentives i also don't think we can keep gaines now, he's looking to be 4/$25-37 mil projected davis is not going to enter this deal expecting to be a #3 corner, which means we'd be paying gaines top 15 CB $$ to be our #3 Usually on the 1 year deals, it’s the player who wants it that way. The fact that that the agent hadn’t leaked the terms likely means it’s not big $ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Let's us still try to sign him but if his price gets to high then we don't have to over pay and can let him walk. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whatdrought Posted February 27, 2018 Share Posted February 27, 2018 Can't help but wonder if signing with us was a matter of wanting to play opposite a young stud and beside great safeties. Makes aging a little easier having that group guarding your back. With that being said, I expect him to do very well against #2 receivers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know when he was entering the draft he was seen more as a zone corner with his size and ability to tackle well. Plus, he gets to play with 3 other pro-caliber DB's. I'm really happy with the signing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was actually higher ranked than E.J. Gaines (#34). What the heck are you talking about? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
