In today's NFL, a good case could be made that coverage safeties and more specifically coverage safeties that cause turnovers are the second most important aspect to a good defense.

If we could get Berry and Byrd under contract for a combined 13 million per year, they should be happy they got such a bargain.

You have to pay good players. At least we'd know what we've got with those two.

If we're going to have any shot next year we need to fix the secondary...

BossChief 02-28-2014 01:15 PM

I wonder what they'd take for him.

You'd be taking the biggest weakness on our team and filling that hole with a pro bowl player...

I've bashed everyone who's said this.....but tag Albert and trade him for Jordan.

If we're reportedly under around $12 million right now.....then we'd have the room to tag Albert at $11m and trade him to the Dolphins. They get the LT that they want without having to fight in FA for him. We get Jordan who can sit behind Houston and Hali for a year.

Now watch....the Eagles will trade for him.

We have no leverage in a trade. We wouldn't get $3it for Albert...

It makes me hard just thinking about having our pass rush healthy again and adding a guy like Byrd to this secondary.

Before Houston and Hali got hurt against SD, every team we faced (Including SD up to that point in the game...minute left in the first half only having scored 3 points) was taking the deeper drops and passes out of their game plan when they faced us and that let our secondary flourish because they could focus on stopping a shorter list of routes. They were getting there fast enough that it masked the fact that our safeties were a dumpster fire.

When those 2 are healthy next year, they will break records if we have a guy like Byrd at single high safety taking away the deep ball and making teams pay when they try to attack us with 5 and 7 step drops trying to throw deep.

Did you read my post? We're trading him for Dion Jordan.

I'm thinking about it some more and I'm not sure I'd do that.

He is still on a guaranteed deal worth 5/yr.

I think we can get a proven guy for that much.

We wouldn't get a 4th for Albert.

No team in the league is going to believe we're willing to keep him. Jordan will get a higher trade offer than Albert...

Yeah...but doesn't Miami have to eat his signing bonus if they trade him?

They should...

I'm not sure, tbh.
