Jerametrius Butler Released by Rams... signed by Skins

[carphalen5150]

Could it be because we've got a decent 4th CB and two 7th round picks who are gunning to take his spot?

I see...competition is bad. If you are doing your job as a GM you leave no stone unturned...complacency gets you nowhere.

 

[CrazyCowboy]

We better just pass on this player.......

Or the fact there are 9 cornerbacks on the roster already. Doubt the 'boys go more than 5 at the spot. Three of which are sewn up with the final two spots to be divided among the rest.

I just don't know that a guy coming off injuries need to be brought in.

Again...he is a low risk high reward guy like Columbo was.

Butler, Jones, Thomas are camp fodder and we will be real lucky to hit on either Ball or Brown. So it doesn't hurt to take a look at the player.

 

[zeromaster]

Jerametrius is at least worth an honorable mention on an all-name team somewhere.

 

[sago1]

If the Cowboys film study on him before his injury (and if he really healthy) shows he a good starting CB, you'd better believe I bring him in at least for a physical. Glenn's 35 (and look at end of season as if he lost a step) & Henry is 31 and has injury concerns last 2 season. Behind Newman, Henry & Glenn, we've got very little. Brown has all the tangibles to become a good starting CB but he needs time to develop & Ball might not even make the team. As for Reeves, he's not a starter and never will be, nor will Nate Jones. Cowboys showed exactly what they thought of both Reeves and Jones when they only tendered minimum for them. If either legit starting calibre, he would have received high tender just like Crayton.

Why would anyone not want to bring a player in that would be a low risk money wise and could be a guy worth a look? Anyone remember Marc Columbo?

Apparently people forget quick...:laugh2:

The guy is worth a look. Let him compete for one of the three final spots. If he isn't back to his previous form, cut him.

It makes sense to me, I remember the guy when healthy as a pretty good DB... That was all I was basically pointing out.

 

[BouncingCheese]

Hey guys, did anything develop on our front from that 1st rounder from St. Louis who was released?

Bring him in for a look; it can only help us.

There are only so many guys you can bring in to play a position. Otherwise you have too many people and you can't get a good look at any of them because you start to cut into the amount of practice you can see any of them having.

Competition is only good if the guys actually have a chance to compete.

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

Nate Jones and Reeves aren't worth much apparently or they would have pushed Aaron Glenn out of the NFL by now...

Yawn.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

When teams go four wide you can never have too many good cover corners...

Do you remember who the third corner was behind Kevin Smith and Larry Brown?

Or the third corner behind Deion and Larry Brown?

Or the third corner behind Deion and Kevin Smith?

I don't either...

The fact is I believe our top 3 corners match-up with just about any 3 corners in the NFL in my opinion.

The fourth guy?

I'd like to see how this kid from Cal-Poly does.

I say feh on the kid from the Rams.

We shall see.... at 28 I would give him a look, that's just my opinion.

 

[burmafrd]

Couldn't hurt to give him a tryout- but I bet someone is willing to spend money on him and they will grab him. I really cannot remember anything about him- he was a 5th rd pick- so was he really all that? So the Rams gave him a reasonably good sized deal. Cannot say that they have impressed me all that much with their ability to judge defensive talent. So to me he probably is not all that- but it never hurts to take a look.

The days of Darren Woodson playing the slot is over. They were lucky when Kevin Smith went down that Deion Sanders was available.

And the NFL has grown over the years offensively and defenses have to adjust. Players are bigger, faster and stronger in today's NFL.

 

[Hailmary]

If we didn't sign Hamlin, I'd say definitelty bring him in and move Reeves to FS.

He's still worth looking at tho. As few have already mentioned, I don't think it would take a whole lot to improve over Reeves or Jones.
