I might be up for a 1 year flier deal, just to take a stab in the dark. I understand CRed's comment about having a vet for camp, but I just feel like his age and health won't meet the price tag he is probably going to want.

as a reference point DeAngelo Hall would be 30 this year, Talib just turned 27....not sure we should consider a guy that will soon be 36....no way a CB can truly hold his own at that age...unless you are Darrel Green

At 35, PFF rated Winfield out as a 25.5. Both Hall and Talib rated in the negatives. Maybe he doesnt truly hold his own at that age, but the majority of alternatives dont hold their own at any age based on those metrics. Pacman has the next best rating as a FA (at 11.1). His antics still worry me some although it appears he is putting that behind him.

Damn I guess we will just win the East again and make the playoffs; how awful!

Nnamdi is the best CB out there, he had a bad year last year. I look for him to bounce back, the problem is if we can fit him to a friendly contract.

Is PFF looking at the entire history of a player to come up with their player rankings, or just recent season(s)?

That is based on how the player graded out only from the previous season.

So Talib low score is probaby from only playing 10 games, and being put on a short leash when first traded to NE? I thought he looked pretty good in the playoffs though.

Browns looking into Fred Davis.

I don't expect the Skins to sign Davis if there is competition for his services. That doesn't bother me much because I accept that we can't keep every player we would like to keep due to our current cap constraints.

Also, we won without him and it's unknown how well he'll be able to perform coming off of a major injury.

Might as well sign ronde barber

For a reasonable price, Winfield would be great as an over-the-cap-penalty-hump stopgap, so long as we bring in some younger developmental folks, too.

You have to have confidence in your starting CB's. Winfield offers more confidence than Talib or Pacman. And although we all hope that Crawford breaks out, right now he does not inspire confidence as a starter.

[Monkeydad]

I'd be fine with Winfield as a reserve...has to better than Cedric Griffin. If we sign him as a third corner and get a better CB to start alongside Wilson, good move. We're rolling the dice with Winfield as a starter and would probably have been better off with Hall.

I still like Antoine Cason or Quentin Jammer since Toler is gone now.

Chris Houston, Keenan Lewis, Jerraud Powers, Captain Munnerlyn, Marcus Trufant...all decent options.
