If we have to keep these guys around as backups because we can't fix the secondary problem overnight, fine. But we can do a whole lot better.

No. Abdullah can be an above average coverage safety that is a somewhat sure tackler, as well. Also, his picks weren't just being in the right place at the right time, each of them was when he had tight coverage and made a play on the ball.
IMO Abdullah was one of our better defenders.
The guy was good in Minnesota, too. They offered him a 4 year deal before he went on his religious pilgrimage.
He is also solid in the locker room...his teammates even voted him in as a team captain...that speaks volumes to what kind of man and player he is.
I'd have no issues with it if they re-signed him for 4 years.
