    Well we better fix the secondaries fast, if we even have a shot to contend in the AFC south for years to come. With a healthy Watson & Luck; it wont be hard to burn our corners

    Technically he's looking for a 3rd chance, at least in the pros ( suspended 14 games over the last 2 seasons). Multiple failed drug tests in college.

    If Josh Gordon can get another chance, why not? I don't see it being the Titans though

    Seattle maybe

    I know we won't sign him, but at some point we have to start taking a chance on talented players.

    I agree with you, we need to start taking chances on talent

    Morgan Burnett is a SS and is set to be a free agent next year. GB just drafted Josh Jones, who will presumably be his replacement.

    Burnett would give a SS who, shockingly, can cover. He's one of the most underrated players in the league at the position and a major upgrade.

    I believe he'll be 29 next year, and he's currently making $6M. He's worth a lot more than that.

    We need pass-rush not safeties.

    Right, because teams are so quick to let great pass rushers walk in free agency.

    Improving the SS position would improve the entire defense. And by cutting Cyprien, it really won't cut much into our cap space next year.

    We need another CB to replace Sims/McCain, were good on Safeties.

    6m per is too much for a position that does not need to be addressed

    Burnett has lined up in coverage in the slot. And did I mention that he's actually good, as opposed to Cyprien or Searcy? There will always be a weakness to exploit with them on the field. He and Byard could hide a lot of deficiencies with the corners.

    Replacing Sims, who is the #3 corner and is young, cheap , and shown growth as a player, really isn't a big deal.
