I think KC needs a good backup CB, but I don’t know if Antoine Winfield would be the answer. After having a pretty good year with Minnesota Vikings, 16 games, 101 tackles, 12 PDs, and 3 INTs, he signed a $3 million deal to join the already strong secondary of the Seattle Seahawks. In the preseason, he has no tackles, http://www.nfl.com/teams/seattleseah...stics?team=SEA.
So is the 37 year old, 5’9”, 180 lb CB injured? Doesn’t seem like he got a chance to really show what he can do. I’d like someone that has watched Seattle’s preseason games to say if he even played.
Quote:
The Seattle Seahawks signed Antoine Winfield in April to bolster an already powerful secondary. The 36-year-old cornerback won't make it onto the regular-season with Pete Carroll's bunch.
CBSSports.com's Jason La Canfora reported that Antoine Winfield will be among Seattle's cuts on Saturday, as the team whittles its roster down to 53 players by the 6 p.m. ET deadline.
La Canfora noted that Seattle might attempt to shop Winfield before releasing him. A team interested in padding their roster with one of the NFL's better run-stoppers might listen, but Winfield is primarily a nickel-type at this stage in his career. Parting ways with the former Minnesota Vikings Pro Bowl cornerback suggests the Seahawks like what they see in Jeremy Lane and Walter Thurmond III in support of starters Richard Sherman and Brandon Browner.
Carroll has talked repeatedly about the depth Seattle has built with the help of independent-minded general manager John Schneider. The organization views the cornerback position differently than other teams, pursuing a string of taller and more physical cover men. During our NFC West preview on Friday's "Around The League Podcast," we cited the Seahawks as the NFL's deepest team. It's a tough squad for an outsider to latch onto, something Winfield learned Saturday.
