Pretty sure that Nelson's gone, which, at his age, I'm ok with.

I think there's better options on the roster, in FA, or in the draft.  I think he'd bring out defensive backfield down.  

He did have a lot of INTs last year (league tying for the most), but how many of them were good plays and how many were just horrible overthrows or underthrows by the quarterback?  

Don't get me wrong because he was a solid hitter and playmaker, but I'm not going to pretend like he was making Hall of Fame plays when he was just playing centerfield and catching bad throws.  Go look up a Youtube highlight video from last season if you think I'm lying.

Iloka and Adam is better than i thought. I love Reggie but with him being about 6 or 7 years older than
George i doubt he would of been able to replicate last years interception numbers. Plus it looked like
Reggie's tackling was already starting to fall off. Iloka was better for the team to re-sign.

Adam has less wear and tear than Hall and was our best CB and is still one of if not the best returner
in the league. His passion is also something you just cannot get while looking around. So happy this
guy is back, i cannot say this enough. What Trademark was saying earlier about him going to the
Dolphins made no sense, they already had Amakumura and Maxwell.

As of this morning, I would have bet the house on him being gone because it just seemed inevitable, but I'm so pumped he's back because he's one of the most underrated corners in the league, especially at shut-down man coverage.  I'd put him in the top 15 or even ten.  

I'm also pumped for his return abilities, but they don't like him returning when he's been on the field on defense for more than a series or so, which he will be now that Hall is gone (most likely).  That's stupid, to me, though, because it doesn't take all that much energy to return punts or at least call a fair catch and prevent Tate from doing so inside the 5 or trying to return one from that deep.

Nah........  too old, and see above.  We need our young guys to step-up and maybe we draft someone.
