I have to imagine the owners all got together and are trying to artificially drive the price for Safety down because this is bizarre
But this is by fault of these safeties for not becoming more versatile
These safeties are gonna have to play deep and box to get paid in today’s NFL. For the most part the corners and from 4 do all the work. Safeties have gotten by by specializing in zone for too long but i saw this shift to man coverage box safeties when we didn’t want Jesse Bates back.
For a safety to get paid in 2024 and beyond he’s gonna have to be able to man cover AND make tackles ala Mike Hilton in the box. And when you look at that most safeties can’t. The few that can are already locked up, besides newly released Justin Simmons.
If we had even one inkling of belief that safety is undervalued and we need a good one he’s the one to get especially seeing as money is now not his primary focus since Denver owes him 14M. We could get him over here on a discount and give him a mission to allow us to use Dax as we please
