Darby is injury prone as hell and not even very good. Obviously a downgrade from Dunbar. I think this team is looking way into the future fir the most part and not trying to reach or break the bank. Im fine with that. Build slowly, and smartly. Do not understand this move.
Build through the draft, do not take on injury prone or sub par players. Depth depth and more depth smartly through free agency. If a young healthy player we could use is there in free agency than go for it. We need corner but one who will be on the field. I feel like they just flushed a few million down the toilet just to save face in free agency.

Yeah, I def think CB is still a very draft-able position if we like someone. I think Fab and obviously Darby will be free agents in 2021.

Disagree that it is obvious. Dunbar had a better 2019 than Darby, yes. Other than that, Darby has been hands down the better player. Not close. Now, will the rest of their careers be like 2019, or will they be more like their careers as a whole. Could go either way, really, but the answer is far from being obvious, IMO.

Agreed. He's 2 years removed from a SB win where he played pretty damn good. What has Dunbar achieved to date aside from a PFF grade that probably overvalued him. He looked like he had potential 2 years ago and did improve but he isn't exactly all pro material. I suspect we've swapped an equivalent player who doesn't want to be here with one who does.

My post was totally based on what have you done lately for sure.

Nice signing IMO. Proven vet on the cheap, if one of our young guys proves ready to start outside you don't need to resign him, if he's your starting CB maybe you pay him (but not sure that's the plan).

Darby has track star speed. If this guy can stay healthy and is coached well, the sky is the limit. Like all these 1 year prove it deals a lot the team is dishing out. Wonder what's up with Breeland and why he isn't being courted? The Skins signing Darby today was a pleasant surprise this afternoon.

HTTR!

Darby "use to have track like speed". He hasn't been great in coverage ever in his career but did have tremendous make up speed at one point in his career. Injuries will be a concern with him but for the money not a bad pick up.
