DJB Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Love this signing. Hes not being counted upon to be a starter so he fills a tremendous upgrade as a depth role. Plus one less need at the draft! 1

Wizard Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 I like it...low-cost, familiarity, and it will allow the cream to rise to the top for the #2 and slot position. 1
Bangarang Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 He’s solid depth but it’s hard to think he’ll last very long
TC in St. Louis Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 I'm on board, as if that makes a difference to anybody, including me. 1 4
Blank Stare Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Really solid player in this scheme....when healthy. That’s the problem. Guy is ALWAYS hurt. At worst, he’s a camp body like last year. 1
That's No Moon Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 I know he's cheap but how can you rely on a guy who is never available?
WMDman Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 This is a great signing as long as he stays healthy if he doesn’t no big deal 2 1

Paup 1995MVP Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 Great signing....if can stay healthy. Our top 4 boundary corners if we were to keep Wallace White Gaines and Norman are as good as if not better then any teams' in the league. Throw in Taron Johnson and Siran Neal and its a hell of a group of corners. Also that is one less need in the draft. I would hope we go WR RB OT and DE (not necessarily in that order) with our top 4 picks. In fact, I would be fine with taking our 7 picks and packaging some of them to trade up in a given round if we saw someone dropping who really like at one of those positions. If we can get another potential stud at WR and RB in the draft. (And a solid prospect OT and DE) I am fine with only drafting 4 guys. And if we happen to have our 7th round pick when the dust settles draft the best kicker available (I doubt Blankenship from Georgia lasts to the 7th though-but he did miss a short kick that cost the Dawgs the South Carolina game last year) 4
Gambit Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 This is a great signing. When healthy he made our defense look like a whole different beast. I'm still hoping we draft someone like Bryce Hall around Rnd 3. The guy has 1st round potential but got injured in his senior year. 1

blacklabel Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 (edited) Solid signing if he can stay healthy. He seems to excel in McDermott's system. I felt like he was in the right place at the right time on the field when he was here in '17. Edited March 26, 2020 by blacklabel 1
HappyDays Posted March 26, 2020 Posted March 26, 2020 If Gaines can stay healthy I feel very good about that #2 spot. I just don't feel entirely comfortable with Wallace and Norman as the only insurance in case he gets injured again. 1

Norman is the expensive veteran, Gaines the cheap veteran and Wallace is the cheap young guy. I'd say they're set up pretty well. It can always be better, but I think most teams would be envious of our secondary depth. Edited March 26, 2020 by Clemfield2622 4 1
