Hendrickson wasn’t happy with his contract this year doubt he’ll be happy going into next year with 1 year left coming off another great season. Does this front office have the balls to cut Hubbard ? Can Myles Murphy play ? Also if we don’t draft a pass rusher high I doubt we spend big on one in FA. Agree with you at DT cut Rankins , Hills A FA I’d like to resign. I like Jenkins and Jackson as run stuffers there not know as pass rushers tho. If Hill’s not resigned you probably have Jenkins/ Jackson starting with no depth. Feel like there’s a false hope at CB. Turner was a 2nd rd. pick in year 2 of his 11th game who hadn’t been great up to that point. He had a few nice pass break ups and it’s getting portrayed like oh man he just got hurt in his breakout game the light finally came on vs. the ladder of what we’ve seen. Hill is though to assess in only 4 games feel like he might be a solid CB 2. Two of the games were vs the Panthers and Patriots with awful WR cores and then he gets burned for the game winning Td vs. the Commanders. Part of Hill’s appeal was if he made a mistake was hey he’s never played outside CB before. Plus coming of an ACL is brutal for a corner if he struggles next season will we attribute it too his ACL ? and we also have to make a decision on his 5th year option. I’m done with CBT we keep saying his technique isn’t good anymore ok , how can a player in year 3 not know if we’re in man or zone every week ? Didn’t even mention safety , assuming Battle starts next year he’s a liability in coverage and Stone can’t cover or tackle and has 1 year left.
There are very few corners in the league that can hold up with zero pass rush. Sooner or later, the receiver will break free. Personally, I'd draft a fast corner and move CTB to safety and roll with him and Battle back there.
