I'm excited about going into the year with a starting secondary that is CTB, Dax, Battle, DJ and Hilton as the nickel.

But we've only got 7 healthy games out of Tycen Anderson in two seasons and Scott is a cut candidate. A good vet to bolster our S depth makes a ton of sense to me.

Why not work out a trade with Denver for Justin Simmons? he's in a contract year and they need cap relief (assuming they cut Wilson). We could handle his 1 year and maybe even get him a new multi year contract that way we'd have that spot locked for a few years?
