If Hall restructures in a way helpful to the franchise do we still need to prioritize corner? Not saying he necessarily will, but what if?

How many starting safeties we need to "find" is a tough call. You'd like to think at least one of Merriwether/Jackson will be starting. Hell, given Merriwether's proneness to injury and Jackson's proneness for mischief maybe you need them both here plus one more legit starter.

I would say 5th priority - behind 2 safeties and 2 cornerbacks Of course, its unlikely we'd see an entirely new secondary. it could be 2 of our 4 starting DBs are doing everything theyre supposed to, but the other 2 keep blowing assignments. Its hard to judge since we dont know what the assignments are.

Given Shanahan doesnt have the best track record drafting defensive talent, i'd feel alot better if we resolved most of our secondary concerns in free agency. Not sure what the market is going to be next year or our exact cap room, but good cornerbacks are expensive.

To tell you the truth, I think we could do a hell of alot better if we can just add ONE solid starting CB, and have JW start the other side, and DH play the nickelback. And then with the safeties, this will be the hardest position to fill. I say we keep Merriweather, and add a young buck in the second round to start for us. I swear I hope we can both Madoodoo and Doubty. I feel that we can find better options than them, younger as well, on the FA market or through some sort of trade, maybe even the middle rounds of the draft.

One thing is for sure, our scouting department had better be working overtime for this next draft, cause without at least a starter CB or safety, the defense will continue to bleed out, Orakpo or not.

So Browns a no good bust but you want to keep Merriweather?

I know you're not trying to mock me... Your username is a joke, but as far as jokes, it comes in second - behind your opinions.

My screen name is meant to be a joke.

Opinions are like assholes, everybody's got one...

I think I'd just release him. He was hurt the year before we got him and it's been one thing after the other ever since.

If it's best timing for the cap hit yeah why wait?

Hopefully that's what they'll do and maybe we can afford to get a guy like Volmer. I've just had it with Brown. I seriously doubt he'll ever be the player he once was anyway.

I don't remember the specifics but I think if he were to be released before June 1, 2013 it's a $3M hit against the cap, but just $1M after June 1

At 12:01am June 2, 2013 I'd send his a** packing. Now I understand why the IR. You don't think they're planning on keeping him do you SS? Weren't they expecting him to play right after the bye?

I thought that if he was healthy enough they'd activated him and release him, or maybe do some sort of injury settlement.

I feel bad for the guy
