Some random thoughts about the team moving forward

[Rutnstrut]

The ONLY way they should bring the old man back is if it were an extreme bargain. Like a million a season.

that's the vet minimum for next year for a guy with his tenure. don't know if he'd go for that or not.

Since it's "random thoughts" is there any random interest in bring BJ Raji back next year on a vet minimum, if he's interested?

I'd take him over Penal if he's interested.

[Bretsky]

Their plan was to save Peppers for the end of the season. He has had a sack in each of the last three games. Maybe their plan is working?

I may be in the minority here but I'm bringing Peppers back and I'm not afraid to pay him 4-7M per year for another year. He's one of the few things working on D

BJ has always been about the money; he won't come back cheap

I'd pay him 4. 7 might be a bit steep. He does seem to have the ability to stay healthy. Probably because he's a great natural athlete. Played basketball at North Carolina. His size is natural, not a result of bulking up.

Maybe 5 mil for peppers..... one year deal.

Sam Shields should be on your list. He is counting $12M against the CAP in 2016 ($12.1M in 2017 if he is still on the team).

[SkinBasket]

Hyde is an embarrassment to this team and to the fundamental philosophy of defense in general. If he's on the team again next year, I will join those asking for the end of the Ted. Verily.

Besides that, 3 of the top 10 are UFA's (Lang, Peppers, Perry)...so there should be cap space. Thing is, there are a lot of others who will be FA's as well (Tretter, Cook, Lacy, Datone, ...)

I'm not that down on Hyde.
He's a jack of all trades, master of none. He can play corner or safety and return punts.
Thing is, he's on the slow side for corner, and not polished at safety. He's like a variation on Jarrett Bush.

If TT signs him, I'd hope he rarely ever plays unless it's ST.

[RashanGary]

I think Hyde is a good slot player, a serviceable backup safety and a good ST player. He's not a boundary corner. I like him.

He's so rarely in position to break up a pass. My issue with him is lack of big plays. He's serviceable, but you want to do better than him.
