Gonna be a huge blow regardless of what anyone else says.

The narrative was "we can let him walk because Kris is gonna coach up Woods, Lewis, Chido" and none of those 3 have taken that next step up this year. It's been such a letdown that you might actually be forced to make him a solid offer (kinda like D-law, we had no alternative or backup so we kinda had to make him an offer)

Before this year, I agreed.

After this year, let him walk. He’s too inconsistent, doesn’t make plays on the ball in the air and is getting beat by lesser players. I would love to retain him, but I’m not paying top dollar for him.

He just looks better because Awuzie is ****




Agree. Not impressed

I agree we should keep him, but if I remember correctly, there were complaints about BJ's play his first couple of years. These young guys may rise to the occasion.

I do understand he was playing out of position at safety some of that time.

To be fair his bad play was more the coaches forcing him out of position because "he's a great athlete we can get him to play whatever we want" (years 2 and 3 which are key years he's at the wrong position, that's a long time out of position). His first year starting at CB he made 2nd team all-pro

Byron is having a good year but not nearly as good as last year. Wonder if that will affect his offers/prices (if we can get him at a non-pro bowl price it's worth a look)
