The idea is that he is better in coverage than our safeties, especially man to man coverage. What it allows you to do is man up Hall on a TE in a base formation. I don't think he does it often, but it does allow us to give different looks.
As far as over paying a back up......who cares? If we needed the money for some reason it would make sense, but we don't. If we cut him right now he would be the best available corner and someone would sign him. We may need him as Pac Man and Kirkpatrick have been known to get banged up.
At this point in his career, I just don't even think he is better in coverage than our safeties. 3-5 years ago of course. IMO he is over the hill, so maybe this is a last desperation effort by the coaching staff to make keeping him viable. I agree with you though, keeping him for depth should be the course of action for this year, and we can cut bait after this season.
