Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

As thin as our defensive line is now that Onyemata is out we need to be more aggressive than ever. Our secondary is going to get torched and if you have to throw Adebo back there it could destroy his confidence right out of the gate.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

Seems like it’s a rare Occurrence when a team can afford to have two shut down corners being paid accordingly on the roster. While it would certainly help for this season, it would certainly set a course of not having Lattimore and Williams in the future. That, along with the picks/players needed makes it iffy.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

The time to win should always be NOW. There's no way to read the future. We could be decimated by injuries in the coming years. There's no telling.

A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush.

We could be in striking distance of Derek Stingley Jr in next year’s draft with a cheaper rookie contract to pair with Lattimore.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

True, but I’m not sure making that trade puts the team over the top to win this season more so than a trade for a dominant DT, or WR say. If you are Taking on that contract and draft capital commitment then I would look around a bit first.

And this player you want to trade for sounds like the “two in the bush” to me as it will take multiple draft picks/players to get the bird.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

Not saying I want to trade for him specifically. I'm just saying I'm all in on trading picks now for whomever will help. And if we make the right moves that pick will be later in the round and worth far less.

... top five pick? The problem there is LSU for SP.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

+1 :bng:

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

Why not look to trade for JC Jackson from the Patriots? The Patriots gave him a 2nd round RFA tender.

Re: CB Xavien Howard... should we?
 

If he's RFA, then no trade needed. Maybe that's what SP is waiting for, camp to begin and FA to be cut for more help.
