He is a free agent after the season and signed a 3 yr, $15M deal in 2020. I can't find his market value anywhere ( OTC or Spotrac ) but I'm guessing $7-8M would be his floor.

for what price? if the contract is decent, yes....everyone wants improvements everywhere and you can't have all pros at every position. he is decent. he does some good things. some areas he needs to improve. but yeah, if price is right I would resign.

Yes. no doubt.
Joseph is not going to take his job away. Lewis won't either.

Bland may eventually, but keep Brown. Trade Lewis, as I think he has another year on his deal. Heck trade Joseph as well. Keep both for this year as depth, but next off-season look to trade.
Unless some team makes a good offer for either one by trade deadline.

I would have no problem bringing him back but i don't think they will.

I feel like we have guys developing that will be able to step in. I don't think they plan on paying him big bucks as they have to get the Brinks truck ready for Diggs. They will want the draft comp that comes from him signing else where, imo.

Yes. I was down on him early in his career, but patience from the staff has paid off. He is solid.

He was a 4th round pick that contributed at a decent level right away. Also had a great year last year outside of the Bucs game, where half of the plays given up weren’t his fault. The criticism has never been warranted.

Reasonable price yes. Gets an big offer elsewhere, I’m taking the comp pick. We got young guys to fight for that spot and can draft another CB if needed.

Back to back years of high level play. His last contract was 5M a season and he hadn’t shown this yet, y’all think he’s gonna sign for 8M?

Someone will pay him as dang near a CB1. He’ll get 11-13M AAV.

AB frustrates me at times but hes a baller.yes id resign him at reasonable rate but he may not be looking for reasonable. My expectations of him are sometimes overboard every cb gets beat.

Realistically - you're right in you won't have All pros and Pro Bowlers at every position,

Theoretically you'd want to try- attempt to have and develop pro bowlers at every position ... as well as quality depth.
The aim is to have as talent laden roster as possible. And never become complacent.
Even if it's very solid guys such as Darrin Smith, Dixon Edwards.

The 90's team had All pro's and Pro Bowlers all across the OL.
The DL has pro bowlers: Haley, Tolbert, Lett, even Maryland.
When we even had guys that were eventually Pro Bowlers elsewhere on other NFL teams (ala Brock Marion, Ron Stone)

Besides eventual big injuries and age to our big stars, horrible drafting,, trade and FA signings became because we became content and complacent with that Jimmie roster.

i don't think Brown will be an All Pro, .. but yet i was wrong in thinking he could Not be a solid starter as a No.2 CB. on the outside,
i thought he was more of a slot guy than an outside guy.
Even teams like Joe Burrow and Matthew Stafford haven't been able to take advantage of him .

And obviously the Cowboys were initially skeptical with Brown as a No.2 to be drafting Kelvin Joseph as a 2nd rd.

My questions would be: .
1) .What is considered the "right' price for re-signing Brown ?
2) Who would we have as a replacement should A Brown depart as a UFA. ?

Depends on the price. Right now he is in the final year 3 year 15 mill contract. You know to keep him that price will go up substantially if he continues to play as he has

I think he is replaceable if our pass rush continues to be as impactful as it is.

I think Chido's contract is probably the starting point for Brown. Chido got an AAV of about $7m per year so lets say 8m is the starting point. But I could see his agent moving that up to get closer to a 10m AAV

I agree there are a few young bucks on the roster like Bland and Joseph that could slide in and get you some savings and productivity drop off would not be huge.
