Crazy part is how many solid to good safeties are still out on the market: Justin Simmons Jordan Poyer Budda Baker Jamal Adams Micah Hyde Eddie Jackson Jordan Whitehead Chauncey Gardner-Johnson It wouldn’t surprise me if they tried Okudah at Safety ala Kareem Jackson, either. He’s a willing tackler with size and has a decent amount of speed.
https://www.espn.com/nfl/insider/in...gles-panthers-dolphins-contracts-deals-trades Winner: The Texans' defense While I'd expect Houston to add a running back to replace departed free agent Devin Singletary, general manager Nick Caserio added two of my favorite free agents to the roster Monday. Both deals appear to be reasonably priced and even take a pair of free agents away from a division rival in Tennessee. The Titans weren't a great team a year ago, but two things they did well were stop the run and generate pressure up the middle. Some of that was star tackle Jeffery Simmons, but he was aided by the wildly underrated Denico Autry, who posted a career-high 11.5 sacks in his age-33 season. Autry was never going to have a wild market given his age, but I was surprised to see him sign for two years and $20 million this early in free agency. That's a great deal for a player who has been remarkably consistent and can play outside on early downs and rush from the interior in passing situations. Houston added to the mix by upgrading at linebacker and signing Azeez Al-Shaair on a three-year, $34 million pact. Al-Shaair has always been rangy, but he never seemed to get his just due in San Francisco behind Fred Warner and Dre Greenlaw. Given a chance to lead in Tennessee last season, he had his best season as a pro. He posted one of the NFL's lowest missed tackles rates for an off-ball linebacker and recorded nearly 25% of Tennessee's tackles on run plays when he was on the field, the second-highest rate of any player. In reuniting with former 49ers coordinator DeMeco Ryans, Al-Shaair gives Ryans some much-needed speed and quickness at the position.
No way we could outbid the Giants. Their 2nd round pick was way higher than ours and no one was going to give to up a 1st for Burns.
Agreed, it was his first year in that blocking scheme and the line sucked. I think he can still be a good rb for us
I realize he had a down year but he’s still only 26 years old, seems like he’s been around the league for so much longer, but any chance we make a move to sign Devin White. He and AAS would be solid in run D and even most coverage situations.
If we would add Hunter, add a S and resign Nelson I’d be happy. Gotta feeling Nick is waiting on SD cutting Bosa and Mack. Could also see Clowney or Chase Young on 1 year deals because Nick.
