we let Bates go for top 5 Safety money.
I definitely don't think Bates will be easy to replace. I want him back, but I don't want him discouraged cause we tagged
him instead of extended him either. The way he played early last season makes me think this could happen.
Hope so, that is what I want the most.
Two FSs that I think might be interested in a 1 year prove it deal are Justin Reid or Marcus Maye.
Reid wants out of Houston. His first two years were good. The last two years not so much. Question is was the decline due to coaching? Maye wants out of NYJ, but is coming off an Achilles tear in November (I think.) I don’t think the Jets will tag him coming off the injury, but will he be healthy at the start of the season and is he interested in playing for a Super Bowl team for a one year audition to earn a big pay day next year? Draft Brisker high as their heir apparent.
Or I might go with a cheaper starter like Quandry Diggs for three years, but then go a different direction than drafting a S high.
But, I wouldn’t pay a FS $15M/yr when Trent Williams is like $2-3M more per year.
