Roby was an on again, off again starter in DEN, replaced by Tlaib...

In Houston, he was shifted over to the NB, important, but no longer a boundary CB; then again, Houston...

Guess we'll see how the Saints Coaching Staff deploys him and if he's effective; Nick made a great point that the pick will be high because they're eating salary...

Note: For those of you who think the salary cap is hard fast re: trades, bookmark this trade away - you can schlep the numbers...

Depth is impressive now, but with Crawley out and Trufant released by Bears for availability concerns, got a feeling we won't find out much now...

Post Week 1 Game, then Payton is required to disclose and we'll see...
So what you're saying is he's not nearly as good as Janoris. So we've should've kept Janoris for one more year, using a salary restructure as a tool.

Janoris’s age scares me.

How does this line of thinking jive with Trufant? He's 30 and over the hill too? Why was he still available and Janoris not available since he signed with another team after we cut him?

Maybe it is the difference in dollars? IDK what Jenkins cost was and what he signed for (too lazy to look up) but it seems like they got two CBs in Trufant and this guy for the price of one in Jenkins. Plus they got younger at the position.
