My expectations are low and that Tre will be CB3 and a locker room glue guy again.
But I also think it's unfair to automatically say "if Tre is starting in week 8 and our rookie is on the bench we're doomed" or even any variation of that kind of negativity. I know it's been a few years but Tre was an Elite CB for multiple seasons until November of 2021. He's 30 and turns 31 January 2026. He was 28 when he tore his achilles and 26 when he tore his ACL. Von was 33 when he tore his ACL and even at 35 he came back this past season at the age of 35 and was probably 70% of the old Von.
If Tre looks like he did in those first few games of 2023 before the Achilles why would you just pull him off the field for a rookie?
Again, these are not my expectations, but I could see it happening given the timeliness.
PS: isn't Tre also counting against the dead cap this year, too?
