Agreed. It seems like they'd rather stick with the known...even if the known isn't really helping us.

And, to be fair, I was all in favor of the team dumping him immediately after his last off field stunt. But, where else are you going to get top notch quality for bargain backup price?
While I do think some exaggerated Adam's demise on the field, I don't think what I saw last year looked like a top 5 CB. He fell off some, IMO. If it were up to me, we would've cut bait after his latest incident.
How many 1st round corners have we taken? Plus Keivarae Russell? Let those guys play. Adam is going on 35 isn't he? He's due to fall off hard at some point, and we've already seen signs...particularly with how he's fallen off in the return game.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
