I'd rather have Shields over any safety not named Byrd.

Maybe. The problem is I don't know anything about Byrd's personality. He seemed like a malcontent in Buffalo, and I'm not sure he'd be good fit for the locker room. It's close though. Quite honestly, there aren't any FAs that I'd take over Shields without hesitation, so I have no problem with him being our top FA target. (Although it would be nice to throw in the likes of Arthur Jones and Garret Graham.)Originally posted by red View Post"There's a lot of interest in the draft. It's great.

I'll take my ham in a Bush over a Byrd, not a Sam."The Devine era is actually worse than you remember if you go back and look at it."

There are several solid safeties available. If we got one of those guys plus Shields, I'd probably take that combination over Byrd and some pedestrian corner."There's a lot of interest in the draft.

You stick with the guy you KNOW can play in your system. I stand by that every time. Continuity is a real thing, not something made up by journalists (in this one instance).Originally posted by red View PostThe only time success comes before work is in the dictionary -- Vince LombardiComment

Since when did Sam Shields not have work ethic? For a guy that only played one year of CB in college and now is playing at a Pro Bowl level I'm pretty sure his worth ethic is just fine. Also noticed how he was a lot better at tackling this season then in the past.Originally posted by bobblehead View Post

Sam's worked hard.Originally posted by Brandon494 View Post
He went from a green kid to a guy who will pick off an errant slant in a heartbeat.
Sam if the proof to me that Joe Whitt Jr is an excellent CB coach.Comment

This deal is extremely team friendly. Only $12M guaranteed. $7.5M in base + roster bonus the first two years and $17M in base + roster bonus in the last two years. Basically, it's a relatively affordable two year contract to see if Shields just to the elite level and then see how he's doing and what the cap looks like in 2016.Originally posted by pbmax View Post"There's a lot of interest in the draft.
