Curious to see people’s opinions on this. Dude is a playmaker for sure. Consistent too. What’s his injury history like? Isn’t he more of a SS type than a FS? If we signed him, is he an immediate starter or a “package” guy who comes in when we go three safeties ala Ricardo Allen? I don’t see the guy signing with Bates and Bell as the starters when he could get a starter gig elsewhere. I wouldn’t be opposed to signing him cheaper than Bates, trading Bates, and saving a bit of money AND gaining draft capital in one fell swoop. I like Bates, don’t get me wrong, but I don’t see us paying him what he may want, and this option could really cover us if talks break down or he walks.
