from another board:

just heard jason la canafor say that we are in a bidding war with the lions for jonathan joseph CB of the bengals. I dont know much about this guy ?

I was just going to post !! I'll be very excited to see us pick joseph up. If we can get him and Cullen Jenkins. We would have a great offseason

i hadnt heard anything like that but he is a good, young CB.

 

[TheSport78]

at the PC, Stephen basically said our starting corners will be Newman and Jenkins. So I don't know...

 

[Risen Star]

You don't know him? He's one of the better corners in the league. But I don't believe we're interested.

 

[RastaRocket]

24th overall pick... don't know much about him.

From my quick read seems better than what we got lol.

Because they never lie? Treat this like a draft. You only will get half truths

true, i remember jerry sayin we were set at WR and not interested the day before we drafted Dez.

Total Access on soon. Hopefully this will be addressed.

They seemed pretty detailed when talking about which positions they would be going after. Off the top of my head, I think they said Free, two DE's, a safety and 2 offensive linemen. I hope it ends up like this:

OL's Doug Free and Davin Joseph
DE's Stephen Bowen and Cullen Jenkins
S Abram Elam

 

[Risen Star]

Yeah but, if you sign Joseph then what do you do with the other three corners? I just don't get how this helps us. Unless you're talking about moving Newman to safety and that isn't happening.

Newman is gone if we sign Joseph. The thing is, we will have to sign TWO corners next year because this is probably Newman's last year AND Scandrick is in a contract year. Plus, we don't know how Mike Jenkins will perform this year.

True. As of right this minute Newman and Jenkins are our starting corners. Doesn't mean if the right guy, for the right price won't be brought in and shake all that up.

 

[Bigdog]

Would love to get Joseph as long as it doesn't cost too much.

 

[MegaMagick]

Wouldn't be comfortable with a Jenkins-Joseph combo, if we get him hopefully there would be a way for Newman to stay.

 

[realtick]

I hate to be that guy, but I need a link or something to substantiate such a claim. Saying "I just heard....La Confarna..." doesn't mean much to me. You could have heard him wrong.

 

[JustDezIt]

i just rewound it, he said he thinks we are possibly in the cornerback market and that jospeh and cromartie would be options. just speculation, maybe this is what the person was talkin bout.

Good point. Could be a move made with next year in mind.

Can you see Jerry releasing Newman right now? It would surprise me. The guy can play. Doesn't rock the boat. One of the leaders on defense.

The kid is a stud. To be honest, I would rather have him on our team than Nnamdi. He is younger and cheaper with the skills to dominate his position. If we sign him, he starts, and the notion of Newman moving to FS becomes more likely.
