Allen2D̶i̶g̶g̶s̶TBD Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 With Dane Jackson out an unknown period of time, Benford with a broken hand, and Tre White still a few weeks from being eligible to play, it's clear that we need to make a signing at CB this week. We called up Ja'Marcus Ingram, who came into the game after Benford was injured, but he looked lost in zone coverage (as he did in the preseason). It's likely too early in the season to persue a trade, so we will need to look to free agents. Here are a few of our options: Kevin King: King played well for the Packers when healthy, but he has had a number of injuries over his career. He has stated that he will take the 2022 season off in order to heal up, but if he is feeling ready to play, he could be convinced to play for a contender if the price is right. Kevin King is 6'3" and played mostly zone coverage in the Packers' scheme. Joe Haden: Haden retired from the NFL last week, but he may still be persuaded to play. He stated that he had interest in playing for the Bills and Von Miller was publicly lobbying for us to sign him. He may have lost a step at age 33, but he may have one more year left in him. Richard Sherman: This suggestion will likely get some backlash considering his drunk driving incident and his poor play with the Buccaneers. Regarding his play in 2021, I think that may have been due to the fact that he was put into the starting line-up 3 days after being signed without fully learning the defense or having practice time with the team. We're in desperate need at cornerback and Sherman desperately wants to end his career on a positive note and win another championship. He has a long track record of success in zone coverage and he's worth a look if there's mutual interest. There are a lot of other free agent cornerbacks, so who do you want to bring in? 1 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethan in Cleveland Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Nobody. Jackson will be back this week and Elam looked great. Tre is a few weeks away. Benford can play a few weeks with a cast. I'd go after a safety. Johnson looked terrible for a guy that "has been in the meeting room" for four years. He's not good enough. Go get a big body to play SS and move Poyer back to FS. Long term I wonder if Benford is good enough to play safety. Elam is not relinquishing that starting spot. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BADOLBILZ Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 It's Lamar Jackson week and then the pathetic Mitch Trubisky comes to town. I think they can get thru that stretch even with Jamarcus Ingram. They've yet to lose a game in the McD era because of their CB play.

He had a career resurgence when he signed with the Colts in 2020, then his production fell off the next year.

FilthyBeast Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 Dumpster diving mid season is never a good thing.

BarleyNY Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 (edited) Sidney Jones from the Seahawks? Not sure what he’s cost trade-wise, but they’re going nowhere and he’s on a one year deal. Cheap too. $3.6M contract, including $1.3M signing bonus so we’d only be on the hook for a prorated Portion of $2.3M. Some of that is even in the form of per game roster bonuses so we’d be off the hook for some if he got hurt.

frostbitmic Posted September 26, 2022 Share Posted September 26, 2022 They should think about going with a 4-3 defense this week and use the extra LB as a spy, watching Lamar.

There are good players on every team's PS. The Giants stole McCloud off of PS. If an injury riddled team is willing to add a PS player to it's game day roster, they can steal them.
