Team is far from close. Last year was the year if they were going to do it. We have alot of free agents with limited cap space, and a very tough schedule coming up.
We might have to spend all six picks on secondary the way it is going. That is not many miss tackles if you look at others at his position. He was a playmaker. Dont get it. Odds are his replacement won't be as good.
He is a top 5 slot corner for sure. I don't know if you can be a franchise slot corner. Nevertheless we won't get anyone even close for 3 mil cap hit or whatever it was.
The secondary is in shambles. McDermott had troubles with young inexperience corners in Carolina last year. Don't mind if we are on full rebuild mode but you won't find a better slot corner than NRC for that money.
