and why would we let Levi Wallace go if we didn't have confidence in Dane?

Because he was roasted all season long against good QB’s.  Mahomes made Levi his b@$&? The last 3 time we played them.  We need to beat KC to get to the SB, hence, see ya Levi.

I just think Beane has a price point and this year a team was willing to pay it so they wished him well.

Didn't seem like a lot of money to me - $4M is Levi Wallace money.  Could be the market is drying up.  Or maybe relative to Rhodes/Nelson/or Haden it was too much, or they just prefer one of the other remaining CBs.

 

Getting a little tight though - kind of like when the market for the big pass rushers was thinning out.  Beane has come through before.  

 

Oh I thought someone here said he got a 1 year $10M or $11M deal...maybe I misread something.  Yeah, if it was $4M then that would have likely been in our ball park at least.

Looking back I can see how there can be confusion.  I think you need to disregard the ramblings of this billybrew and instead reference the page 2 tweet from Mike Garafolo - looks like a $4M + $1M incentive deal.

 

If the FO can get a Rhodes or Nelson or Bradberry for around $4-5M, I think we would be looking at another GM of the year award for Beane.

It's good to hear we are still doing the obvious in terms of pursuing a veteran DB.

 

At some point though the market is going to dry up quickly, likely before or right after the draft.

Would have loved the talent but probably too expensive unless we think Dane Jackson is not ready to start yet.

 

Ummm. Best case scenario is Tre starts week one, but takes a few weeks to ramp back up. Worst case scenario, Tre misses a few weeks then takes time to get back to form. Either way, Dane Jackson is not ready to start in that scenario. Is that even being debated at this point? 

[Back2Buff]

His contract he signed was very manageable.  Disappointing he didn't choose here.

I mean Dane Jackson is not ready to be our CB2- Tre will have to be out CB1 when healthy.

I’ve watched the Tyreek Hill TD in the playoffs more than I would like to admit. Wallace is literally lined up to take away any route  inside and still gets beat inside on a dig route. I think that was the moment they knew they had to move on.

Not sure why Dane would not be ready to be CB2 he did pretty well in that role last year.   He def is not ready to be CB1 and I am not sure if he ever will be.

So next on my list is Joe Haden or Bradberry

 

Both good options. Would rather send a pick or two sent to the Giants for Bradberry, than spend picks and players to move up in the draft (per recent rumors).

 

The window is open and the Autumn wind is blowing in. It smells like a herd of stampeding Buffalo.

I don't think he is ready to get a CB1 right now but why do you think he can't be? He think did well in every game he played in and he went against some good recievers.

He lacks the speed that I want in CB one.   I love him as a run stuffer and he has good instincts.   I championed him all last year.
