DA and Mickey Loomis would have to be pretty pi$$ed off at him to get rid of a shut down corner. Lattimore could leave and we'd be ok with Adebo and Taylor but not great like when Lattimore is out there. Our defense is a top defense because Lattimore can literally shut down his half of the field.

Sure he missed some games last year and we survived without him but we didn't play lights out without him. And the season before that he had a busted spleen, I believe, and came back strong in his first game back.

Besides, he's 28 and has had injuries the last couple of years. What is his value at this point? I'm thinking two second round picks plus some lagniappe later in the draft or a player trade.

Why would they be pi$$ed off at all? Injuries are part of the game and are pretty much expected. That's why it is commonly said, especially among GM's and coaches, that the NFL is a 100% injury league. They know every player will at some point miss time due to injury. A few unreasonable fans are the only ones who get pi$$ed at players because of injuries. One would think most fans are knowledgeable enough to know better.
