Which New Cornerback to get
 
Ok, so its a fact that The Saints will be acquiring at least one CB this offseason the question I have is which would you prefer? Would you rather we sign Free Agent Dominque Rogers Cromartie who isn't elite but is perfectly suited to be the #2 Corner opposite from Keenan Lewis. Or would you want us to draft the Florida Cornerback Roberson who is just as tall but 6 years younger and would be under team control far longer. So which do you want?

Free Agents
Cortland Finnegan
Tarell Brown
Draft
Kyle Fuller
Stanley Jean Baptiste

I'd be happy with any of these guys

Revis has signed 2 max contracts with 2 suck @$$ teams ... He will be cut , perhaps he will decide the best of his last days should be played for an elite team ...

Cromartie

Cornerbacks who make an immediate impact their rookie year are kind of hard to come by. I wouldn't be opposed to signing one of these guys on a short term contract AND going for someone in the draft.

Antonio Cromartie or Tarell Brown and from the draft i would have to go with Jason Verrett he reminds me of Brent Grimes.

If the Buccs let Revis go that speaks to why they will never get where they want to go.

Giving up two draft picks (one a first rounder, #13 overall) for Revis then letting him go the following season?!?!?!

But I do understand somewhat, Lovie is a zone defense guy and Revis is a man player.

Seems the Buccs are bringing in Michael Johnson. We better get this line sorted pronto as this division is getting pretty nasty on both sides of the ball.

It's crazy to think a team would flush so much down the toilet for one player for one year.....glad it wasn't us. Haha

There's a lot of really good corner out there. Cromartie is the only one I see people mention that I would want on a 2 year deal.

Cromartie; draft Pierre Desir, Lindenwood to understudy...

I don't understand the market for CB. One minute Sam Sheilds gets 10mil per year and then Alteraun Verner (who is better) gets 6 mil a year to play for a crappy bucs team.

bingo lovie will build a great DL and fill in some solid LB.

Atlanta loaded up on the DL also

CB? Draft

OL needs have taken on a whole new meaning.

Honestly, I'm okay with both Robinson and White as our 2 and nickle. We have way too many needs on the offensive line and I still think we need to bring in a young playmaker at receiver via the draft.

Selfishly, Revis if there was cap room. But at this point OLine... OLine... OLine... Keep Brees upright.

Luda34 03-12-2014 10:32 PM

Re: Which New Cornerback to get
 
Tarell Brown is young and the guy would be a good pick up for use

Robinson needs a chance to prove he is a starter, he wasn't drafted to be nickel. I give him a pass when Spags was here. Now is the time for him to show if he is worth his draft status. We have no idea what this guy would have looked like under Rob Ryan, for all we know he might have finished the season very strong and could have easily stepped in for Greer. Here is hoping.

He started last years preseason as the starter opposite Lewis anyway. After he got hurt and placed on IR is when Greer took back the starting spot...

Dude, I agree with you. In no way was I implying that PRob should be a nickle back. I mentioned this in a previous post, but I do think Loomis and Payton have an idea as far as what Robinson can contribute this season. Right now I think the number 2 corner spot is his unless he struggles. I too give Robinson a pass for his god awful 2012 campaign. If the cornerback position was a major need I'm sure that they would have addressed that first before they went after Byrd.

Re: Which New Cornerback to get
 
PRob? talent is there injury bug is too. One year left on his contract, is the gamble worth it? could have a solid season or be in the tub. I have to air on caution and say Draft a solid prospect early in the draft. His cap numbers would more than pay for the draft pick if you did cut PRob before or during the season. If he does well your stuck with two solid CB so if he walks at the end of the year you have a fall back plan. either way its a win win.

Tarell Brown is 29, which I wouldn't call young by NFL standards; and we've got two that are developing nicely in that slot...

If you want a major upgrade there - look to the draft...
