19 FA CBs of note.
How do we know? Clearly we don’t know what will happen if we sign one but I’m willing to bet almost any of them would be an upgrade.
We will see how we go about it. All I know is I want BJ Hill back and would be nice to extend Bates .
Have to keep this Defense together for the most part and upgrade where we can, if it is over Apple so be it.
Just that Apple knows the system now and has finally gotten somewhat consistent which has always been his problem.

I like Apple. I just don't know what kind of contract he'll be looking to sign and he might be farther down the list than guys like Bates, Larry O and Bj Hill. But if we let Waynes go hopefully we can keep this defense intact while adding some guys and if we let Waynes go I think we may need to add a CB.
For sure, Apple isn't a priority over those 3.

But having said that I really hope we get a couple O linemen in free agency because I'm not sure who will be there at the end of the 1st RD. I'd rather not be in a position were we have to reach for an oline and pass up on a CB or Linebacker or even possibly a DE.

Thats ships sail bro!
True, we made the Superbowl and might be picking last, the Sauce ship has sailed. Oh well, its all good.
The Superbowl is a nice trade lol

Seen him mocked to the Vikings a few times which would make sense as well as the Eagles pairing him with Slay. I still wouldn't put it passed the Browns to take him even with their two CBs on the roster already. It is a passing league and to have 3 top CBs is almost a need at this point. Think about the Bengals when they had Leon Hall, and Dennard and still added Kirkpatrick in round one.
Sure hope the Stains don't get Sauce, that would suck.
