When Ganjory got disqualified, that changed the D landscape for me. With him the pass rush was mediocre, without him and a 1st round pick, I am not optimistic about improving the pass rush so I am in favor of improving the second most important, the back end.
I have 0 reservations about the injuries or about his dedication to helping this team and being a positive influence over the young secondary guys that would be under his leadership. That said, I do not like the things he's done but then I didn't like Sanders or Owens either and they came to play. And there's no denying he wanted to make more money, wanted that highest paid S label, but I think there were more problems that he had with the SEA organization.
The tell in this to me is how far they will go because that will tell me how badly Richard thinks he needs him.
What will surprise me is if he doesn't end up a Niner. His buddy is there and the GM is a former S. If they're not willing to fork over 13M ranking 7th in cap at 67M, that's another tell to me. If there's any GM in the league that can evaluate a S, it's Lynch.
