McPherson was considered as a potential starter at CB before the signing of Bradberry. With the signing, McPherson will be pushed down in depth and would see less PT as CB. If the coaches could find ways to involve him in some packages, ST or as subs, his development would not be too limited. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Procus Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 I am surprised. Thought he'd be too expensive. Now if the team can sign a decent safety, the defense should be formidable. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kz! Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 We'll see how it plays out, but it's tough to not love the moves we've made on paper this offseason. Hopefully one of the dozen or so young guys we've picked up at corner can emerge so we don't need to re-sign Bradberry next year. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The moves this year makes it even more obvious that there were schemes that they just couldn't do last year. Collins is still out there. I think Kevin King played some safety before moving to CB. This is huge. Coming for you Dallas! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seengreen Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 And the Giants are paying a cap hit larger than what the Eagles are paying in salary to him. A comp pick is due, probably a 3rd rd'er. Howie "The Golden Fleece" Roseman has sought the long game and prospered. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Talonblood Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 There are just two players in the NFL since 2016 with 15+ interceptions and 80+ pass breakups: Darius Slay and James Bradberry. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s rare that a 4th round pick or below becomes an effective starter at CB. Hoped to get a corner in the draft, but this signing makes a lot of sense.

EazyEaglez Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 Howie nailed the off-season. I am concerned because this was a lot of change over, (not going to say what this reminded me of) but this team no longer has any excuses on any level not to succeed. The biggest question marks (Sirianni, Hurts, and Gannon) have no excuse for failing this season. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, the odds are against any of them becoming a standout, but I'm just hoping the sheer numbers we've thrown at the position between McPherson, the relatively high-profile UDFAs we signed, and the young guys we've traded for, that someone from that group can emerge as a solid starter after this season.

Moe Greene Posted May 18, 2022 Share Posted May 18, 2022 1 hour ago, judunno said: Ok... even the most egregious Howie hater has to give him props on this off-season. Yes. Safety is really the last area that needs to be addressed and the fact is, we had too many holes on this team to address all of them in one off-season but I think, outside of another good pass rusher (not that we're weak there but you can never have enough DE depth), we addressed everything but safety. That can ba a focus next year. We have the extra first next year to find a QB if Hurts doesn't take the next step in his development. Hurts has been out west with Tom house working on his mechanics so I'm hopeful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rodgers, Wilson and Watson were never coming here, it was a terrible draft class and trading for a journeyman wouldn’t be any improvement and would cost $25-$30 million a year vs. the less than $5 million a year Hurts and Minshew make COMBINED. So, what should they do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
