Do we have enough corners?

Rugby Saint II · 05-09-2011, 07:45 PM

Since Payton came here he has aggressively been bringing in corners. We seem to have taken a corner every year with a relatively high draft pick since '06 when Payton arrived. He also brought in quality corners through free agency and that mix makes me feel like we have one of the most talented tandem of corners in the NFL. When we look at the youth in our secondary the talent he has recruited is top notch.
There is still room for improvement in our secondary but has Payton got what he needs to get the job done? I can't wait to find out.

Please stop with what will never happen, his price is to high, Nobody else mention Nnamdi ok. Guys he's not coming here lower your standards just a little.

I do think that we have good talent at the corners, But we got torched last season by taller stronger receivers i.e Mr. Push off Roddy White, Mike Williams.

I think it would be more realistic to target

Ike Taylor
Carlos Rodgers

if you wanna get better at CB

Agreed, and I think our top 3 CB's probably are. And Patrick has some exciting potential and would benefit us more because of his special teams contributions.

Didn't say that they weren't. A free Agent can a depth to something that is supposedly good already and make it better. You can get free agents to pull up your bottom line ( Torrence and Gay) BTW Those corners have something ours don't height and consistency!!!! Have Porter or Greer played full seasons since becoming Saints? How many games did P. Rob miss last year because of injury? BTW Greer is good not great, he really got picked on. Also getting one more vet DB allows you to drop the dead weight. Taylor and Rodgers are better the Gay and Torrence. You can add Jonathan Joseph to my wish list.

Nnamdi's last contract ( Raider's are idiots ) was 3 years 45 million dollars, and because of all the teams vying for his services.....

Houston, Philadelphia, Lions, Giants

that price isn't going anywhere. I don't know who his agent is but if it Drew Rosenhus. He pitts the teams against each other to see where he can get the best deal and fit for the player. Where ever he goes he's gonna wanna finish his career there. Nnamdi I think will be 30 by time NFL start back up. So were talking 4-5 years at maybe about 15 mil per. Quick math that 60 mill over 4 years by Raiders numbers. Thats to much money to give to one corner if you already have decent or better than decent corners.

With Greer, Porter, Robinson, Patrick, and Jenkins on the roster, I don't believe we'll sign any corners that'll make any significant impact. We'll probably cut Gay and re-sign Torrence... or sign a player similiar to Torrence to fill out the depth chart and help on special teams.

Well said, Papz. Corner is not an area of need. Cross Nnamdi off the wish list.
