Would you be willing to give him the contract that we gave Smith 3 years ago? He might be able to get close to that. And with his injury history, it's possible that we could end up at $5 million/yr for a guy that spends half that contract in the tub.
He has the talent to excel in this system. His injury history should keep him from expecting to start somewhere so the Gaines/Lane battle would be a great one. I just worry that the injury history and the amount of money in the market may make him a pretty high risk proposition.

This is very true. I'm wondering if Casey Heyward would be better? He's a bit streaky but I think he could be a decent starter.
I want us to load up at the position. Peters, Smith (or Vet FA), Gaines, Nelson and early draft pick with Parker as additional emergency insurance.
I want to be ready for any injury at all times at CB bc it's so important and we can't afford to have Bums like Cooper holding us back like this year.
With this same token, I want to add another OLB even if Tamba comes back.
