Don't know what's not to like here. Guy plays hard, probably does everything that is asked of him at the drop of a hat, and makes plays. Is he great vs. the run at ILB? No, but then again, he's not a damn inside linebacker. You wanna blame someone for that, blame Sutton for overusing the dime package or acknowledge the poor health at ILB last year.

I hadn't realized untilt the past couple of weeks upon re-watching just how much dime package Sutton used against Pittsburgh. Basically sat in it all night vs. 3 WRs.

That can't happen against Pittsburgh's OL. Not blaming Sorensen for that gameplannning miscue.

Just kidding around mostly - but it's a given that a white defensive player will be significantly overrated on CP

I am not blaming any one for anything.

I am pointing out that Sorenson isn't nearly as versatile and valuable as people here make him out to be.

He's a solid cover safety in the middle of the field, but not all that great in man, and a liability in the box.

Yup.

This is a big-time coach's pet misstep.

There's no way on earth that Sorenson would've made that much on the open market; nothing even close. We just paid a hometown premium while dealing with a tight cap.

We'll see how much of this is guaranteed but unless there's pretty much zero in GTD money, this is a mistake.

Got the new good ol boy network at Arrowhead. This one is good enough to win you a wildcard game tho.

Almost half is guaranteed

I have a feeling Parker is gone next season with his cap hit going up to 7 million. Sorensen/Murray can fill that role next year and their* combined cap hit is much easier on the team than paying Ron.

Unless his game falls off big time, I wouldn't cut Parker. He's been steady, durable, and a pretty damn good safety for us who is versatile enough to play single high or roll up in the slot and cover man to man.

Worth $7 million at the level he played last year.

I think he is one of the most underrated players on the roster but I honestly believe once we shore up the linebacker position and our corners aren't ass opposite to Peters, we won't need his services especially at that price. Murray's time to shine.

He almost got Ron Parker money.



Countdown until zombo gets a brand new spankity 5yr/30m deal

I am hoping it is a new contract for Colquitt that lowers is cap number fairly significantly.
