I know he's cheap but how can you rely on a guy who is never available?

That's the point though. You're not relying on him. You've got Tre and Norman and Wallace and Neal and Taron Johnson.

how much depth do you want?

 

you can't be 3 Pro-Bowlers deep at each position. Norman is the expensive veteran, Gaines the cheap veteran and Wallace is the cheap young guy. I'd say they're set up pretty well. It can always be better, but I think most teams would be envious of our secondary depth. 

 

Our depth is great. I just don't feel entirely comfortable with any one of our presumed starters at the #2 spot. In an ideal world I'd pencil in Gaines, I know he can play that role very well and he knows McDermott's defense. But he's never been healthy. I don't feel good about Norman or Wallace as anything but rotational/depth roles.

Not to get ahead of myself but, on paper, this team isn't missing much.

 

I think they could upgrade at Punter by drafting one of the two good punters in the 5th or 6th round.

I think it's great signing, we lose nothing with still having Wallace and stand to gain if Norman and Gaines play well  & stay healthy. Also, Beane is no dummy, I'm certain his contract is team friendly and incentive laden. This helps push Norman to rise up for the #2 spot and really the same can be said about pushing Taron Johnson to rise up for that slot position. I didn't dislike Kevin Johnson but I think our overall depth and competition on an already solid group is better now with these additions. +1 from me.

This is a great signing. When healthy he made our defense look like a whole different beast. I'm still hoping we draft someone like Bryce Hall around Rnd 3. The guy has 1st round potential but got injured in his senior year. 

Yep he played In 11 games in 2017 and they went 8-3 in those games
