Could be. I don't remember Capers talking about it, but I don't remember very many of the excuses, I mean explanations Capers gives!
Didn't the Bears kind of go after Shields a bit, and complete a bunch of passes to his guy? I seem to remember McGinn or someone pointing that out.
I think Shields has been OK, but not close to pro bowl level, and certainly not a $10M man. Still his typical frail self physically, which, of course, is not his fault just a reality with him..
He's a very good corner, but I was a little surprised at the money he got.
