The Bears have released Porter. Is he worth a look?
He played okay, not great, for the Bears. Not sure if the Packers are in the market for another veteran CB after signing House.
He played pretty well against the Packers, but apparently not that well against everybody else. Still, he was the best Corner on a team that was not overly good in the front seven. Apparently man coverage is his thing, which is a good thing. He was cut as a salary cap thing after playing with injuries. All things considered, I'd give him a try with very little guaranteed money. I doubt very much it happens, though.
Sign him and trade for Sherman...boom secondary fixed with young guys backing them up.
While I agree with signing Tracy Porter, Sherman depends on what they expect in trade. If cost efficient then this would solve the secondary problem.Quote:

Does that mean the 3 of you above think getting Sherman cheaply enough (which is highly unlikely to happen) would NOT solve the secondary problems? I have to go with Upnorth on this one by a wide margin.
Porter is not good enough to start for the Saints (terrible defense) and the Bears (terrible defense).
If he offered upside, they would have redone the contract (Bears would have anyway). He is done.
Sherman's draft pick cost is too high right now.
Someone suggested a trade for cobb. We replace cobb with a tt second rounder superstar (he finds wr gold in the second. ) Helps alieviate shermans salary cap issues.Quote:

Doubtful Ted will want to pay big bucks to Adams, Jordy, and Cobb at once for too long so it also helps that situation.
Apparently Marshawn Lynch is willing to play for whatever team trades for Sherman, or the fore mentioned Raiders. Heard it on the radio so I don't have a source. I'd be willing to give up Cobb for Sherman if its a 2 for 1 deal and Beast Mode comes along for the ride. I don't know about the money aspect of the deals, but I agree with Bretsky. Adams is gonna need money and not sure there is enough for 3 $9-$10 mil per year WRs on the team.Quote:

Now Twitter has Seattle trading Marshawn to Oakland.
If Adams stays at his currently play level he's at least as good as Cobb. He might actually jump again this year. Cobb is what he is. A good WR who got paid like a very good one.Quote:

I don't begrudge the man getting paid. I think he's paid a tier above his career production, but Rodgers loves him so you pay the man. My thinking is you can pay someone a lot less and not drop down very far in production.
I still don't want Porter, and I'm not sold on Sherman. Usually head cases get crazier as they get older, not better.
Why do we want someone else's garbage? Is it just because it's a name people know?
Sign Lawrence Taylor now!
I don't have an issue with Cobb's contract, its going to take a similar contract to trade for Sherman. (Not saying that's gonna happen.) And with the salary cap increasing every year, its actually probably pretty good for one of the better slot receivers in the league (when healthy).Quote:

My greatest disappointment with Cobb is that nobody ever got the nickname "Corn" to stick.
One year is not enough show for me. If he's the same or improved this time next year, I'll agree for sure.Quote:
