I like Pete, but thinking of the probable final 53, there isn't one of them I'd let go for Hunter.
Even perpetual underachievers like Tucker man lower depth positions and have more physical potential. Pete plays a position where Frazier is supposedly being shopped.
Would letting a Ratliff or Thomas go for Hunter be palatable? A Crowder? Absolutely not.
Tuna once claimed he could make Hunter into Marcus Coleman, but the poster in this thread who said Pete lacks top football 'instincts' probably has it right. In NY, the cap hit signing Law was a factor in Pete's release, but even pre-Law, Pete wasn't said to be impressing. Rookie db Justin Miller was blowing him away in competition.
There is very little developmental potential left unplumbed in Pete Hunter, and every team has its own db projects. He hasn't played enough good regular season ball for any FO to prefer him to one of their own, and even a squad depleted by injury may be willing to factor vet minumum salary against Pete and go with what's dwelling on their own ps.
