That's why he'll get more on the market and why we'll sign Nelson most likely unfortunately.

Lol, there is no way that Iloka is a better safety than Nelson right this second. I think you hopped onto the 2014 Iloka hype train a little too unhesitatingly there.

2012-2015....

George Iloka: 51 games / 189 tackles / 0.0 sacks / 20 Pdef / 5 INT / 2 FF  / 0 Pro Bowl, 0 All-Pro
Reggie Nelson: 61 games / 322 tackles / 3.5 sacks / 43 Pdef / 17 INT / 3 FF / 1 Pro Bowl, 1 2nd Team All-Pro

2014-2015 (if you want to argue that Iloka didn't break out until 2014)...

George Iloka: 28 games / 121 tackles / 0.0 sacks / 14 Pdef / 4 INT / 0 FF / 0 Pro Bowl, 0 All-Pro
Reggie Nelson: 32 games / 172 tackles / 1.5 sacks / 27 Pdef / 12 INT / 0 FF / 1 Pro Bowl, 1 2nd Team All-Pro


Yeah, sorry to break it to you Storm, but Nelson is a far better safety right now. The only reason Iloka will get more on the market is because he's much younger and has potential, not because of what he's actually proven.
