And I really don't think we should be comfortable with either scenario. We've had 2 CBs out quite a bit the last two seasons and have had a couple of occasions with 3 CBs out.
I agree with what others have said. This seems like a move based on his salary and wanting to use it for something else. $258K is a good wage for a 3rd CB - those guys will play a lot. Except, we have a really good 3rd CB in Ibeagha, who makes a lot less. The belief here is that they found someone else they really like who they can sign on limited wages to provide depth.
I also think this makes it a lot less likely we will play much of the season with 3 or 5 in the back.
Is there a 16 year old CB that's a US national playing on a B team in Europe somewhere? If so here comes a new loan deal.
