This is fine. More likely than not, White’s contract will be going away. Give him that money and don’t re-sign Davis. 


They can't just erase the contract. They can cut him, which comes with a penalty, but ultimately a $6M savings for 2024. We would still need to find another $10-12M.

McDermott's scheme is different when he has an island CB1. When he knows a third of the field is taken away by one guy, it changes everything he can do in the back 7. The reason he's been blitzing so much lately is he has no faith that our coverage will hold up.

 

So if we're assuming Tre is done and Elam is a bust (both reasonable assumptions), getting that caliber of player is still a huge need for our defense, arguably the biggest need on the entire team.

 

 

The fact that they play A LOT of zone opens the draft board up for them though.  

 

They don't NEED to spend a 1st round picks on a CB to get that quality of player they can go day 2 or even day 3.

 

It's worth noting that CB salaries have largely leveled off as salaries at other premium, edge-island positions are increasing...........the reason is supply and demand.   The supply of talented CB's tends to be pretty good well into most drafts.    Goes back to Parcells' "planet theory"........there are lot's of 6' tall guys who can run but can't catch the football well enough to be a WR.  That's how you get a solid CB2 talent like Benford in round 6.

While we wait for the trade, does anyone know what Jamie is up to nowadays?

 

That's a good question! I saw recently that Scotty and Maddox were both doing autograph signings in the area, but nothing I have seen about Jamie.
