Defense Rebuild: Defensive Backs

Wet lost a lot on defense to injuries/COVID last year, so it's hard to make a good judgement on them. Suffice to say though, we've gotta improve our pass rush. Really surprised we never brought Cam Wake back in after we cut Beasley, but maybe the finances were tight given the economic environment.

Improve the pass rush and the secondary will figure itself out.

 

Defensive backs will be fine once healthy. Adoree being out all season killed us. We found some diamonds in the rough who will only get better though in Fulton and Borders. I wouldn't be opposed to bringing adoree back, but if we really want to save the cap space, I wouldn't hate releasing him either. King wouldn't be a bad alternative.

As for safeties, we can let vaccaro go. It's his time, and I think Hooker has earned the spot. Byard will be fine.

What we need to do this offseason is draft 6 pass rushers and a wide reciever.

You wanted us to cut Malcolm Butler last year and said he was trash.

 

Other than 3 sacks vs the browns in week 1, Wake did not a lot last year

 

Didnt he get hurt shortly after that? Seems like his injury basically ended his season for the team.

 

He made it to week 9.

And just to slight him, he actually had 2.5 for the season, all against the Browns.
1 was a safety too.

 

Interesting. I thought he got hurt much earlier in the year. I do remember he strictly played on pass downs. He got like 20 snaps a game maybe.

 

I don't recall his snap counts. I know he wasn't considered "starter". 3/ $23 mil seems like a lot for a rotational guy.

 

Not a rotational pass rusher lol pass rushers are the 2nd most coveted position in the NFL.

Plus it was really only a 1 year deal. No guarantees after first year.
