If players were cut/traded for punching teammates, then Randy White, Charles Haley and Erik Williams would not have been with the Cowboys for long...

He may be done in the NFL. Had 2 broken legs and is aging. Now off field issues and finally it spills over to the field and his team mates. Don’t do it JJ. This would be a JJ type move. Not sure MM would want him. We have a good vibe going right now. Let’s not ruin it by bringing in someone that has these type issues...

The only way I would do it is I would sign him for a pittance with no trade capital and make the entire contract contingent on him behaving like a choir boy.

I'm all about winning, but it doesn't sound like he's been a model-teammate during his time in Baltimore, we can't have that with this young of a team.

Nolan plays a base 2-deep Safety scheme.

The Legion of Boom was famous for their single-high Safety coverage scheme(s).

LoB played their CBs in a way that narrowed the middle area that ET had to cover.
- Their CBs kick-step press technique that forced WR to commit inside/outside off the snap, gave ET an early read.

The two factors above allowed ET more freedom to be a play-maker than some other Free Safeties because he didn't have to "play it safe" all the time.

In Nolan's scheme each Safety will have more run responsibilities than a single-high FS but less than an in-the-box SS.

They will mix in some single-high, but in the past his base has been 2-deep.

Note: The Safeties in 2-deep are not as a deep as a single-high FS but deeper than a box Strong Safety.

Good info. I knew about Seattle's scheme haven't had time to go over how Nolan handles his back end.

His salary is 10M for 2020.

The Cowboys didn't sign him when he was a free agent.

The new defensive scheme is opposite of the Legion of Boom scheme that made him a Super Star.

I don't think the Cowboys will trade for him.

If he gets cut, then the contract is over and it's just a matter of what he'll accept as a salary for 2020. The Ravens would still be paying him 10M in salary plus he pocketed a 20M signing bonus when signed in 2019.
- His total contract was 3 years, 55M; therefore, if they Raven cut him it will have been 2-years, 30M. That's a big chunk of the "final payday" that he was seeking back during this final year in Seattle.
- He might be more focused on getting another ring now than money which was his top focus before departing Seattle.
