Considering the money being paid, I'd be real surprised if Marcus Maye is moved from the position he's played, Free Safety, to Strong Safety...

If Maye fully recovers, he'd have the best range on the backend of the defense; maybe while he still recovers we see some cover 2 with Sorensen...

Can also see Roby moving to the nickel with Gardner taking over at SS...

He's played extensively at both positions and may be better suited to play SS now given his Achilles injury. He also came discounted so I really don't money plays much of a factor here. IMO CJ has more range is better suited playing FS. Maye has played a large amount of his snaps in the box under Saleh making him better suited for SS. Honestly both have shown in the past they have the skillset for either position. We should be good back there regardless.

Congrats to Jenkins and having a SOLID NFL CAREER.

Was one of the only 2 remaining Saints still playing from the 09 SB team.

Enjoy your retirement sir.

So, all the people suggesting we needed to draft his replacement were right?

We'll draft a replacement. It's OK. Learn can't do it when Leon gets too old.

We should not have let Jenkins go to Philly in the first place.

Nick sees Mayes as a possible replacement at SS for Jenkins pointing out that he played that position for NY the past two seasons.

I think it was good for him and Payton that he got that time in Philly. I’m not sure he would ever have developed into the player he is had he stayed. If I remember correctly those were the days Payton was hell bent on building a defense like Seattle had without the personnel in place to do so. He was trying to fit players into roles that didn’t play to their strengths. When DA took over Payton stopped meddling with the defense and they got a lot better.
Still pisses me off that most of Brees good years were squandered by ****ty defenses.

Well dang it, this won't help our Buckeyes quota.
