Maybe they think signing or drafting another safety would be much easier than a CB. I can see that perspective. Still, I figured Reid would get more money from somewhere. And Fulton being signed came a little out of left field.

It’s Trent and Cooks’ backfield now. They have the chops to lead that group. Learned from Snead and Reid on the field. They’re fine
Adding Fulton fills the one hole and that was CB2. This move lets them be so much more diverse than if they ran it back with Reid. Connor can move around where he was so good 2 years ago. Trent can shut down the middle of the field where the opposition feasted last season.
Great move.
