Derek Ross has a world of talent. Saw him here in Dallas his rookie year. Started the last 8 games of the year and held his own. However in his second year he fell behind Mario Edwards in training camp due to injuries and didnt get along with Big Bill. Atlanta signed him last year after the cowgirls cut him and now the saints claimed him off of waivers. This guy improves our secondary and should challenge Ambrose for the nickle position and should win that spot hands down. I would not be surprised to see him start opposite fred thomas but november depending on how well craft hold up. He could become a very good corner, not shutdown, but a very good corner, another fred thomas.

Derek Ross had 62 tackles and 5 interceptions in 2002. And he did it only playing 14 games.

It\'s definately worth a look...

Even if he is a 2nd tier CB he will improve our depth and if he posted numbers like that in 2002 no reason he can\'t do that for us too.
