Report: Antoine Cason, Arizona Cardinals strike deal - NFL.com (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/0ap1000000151182/article/report-antoine-cason-arizona-cardinals-strike-deal)
cason is $2m 1year. wish we had gotten him for that. maybe talib is close and not going to NE.
i think the next best after that is winfield on a 1-2year deal.

Why Winfield? I don't want an old guy who lasts a year or two. I think we need to fill the corner position in the draft. Maybe we won't get an immediate starter, but we already have Crawford and Wilson, and then we would be better set up for the future.

cause we need someone to start for us this year... you just said it yourself. winfield is old, so he'd be in the price range if talib doesn't work out. we still need a safety and a #3 db anyways.

We are screwed at CB next year, especially if Hall doesn't come back. Doesn't matter if u hate the guy or like him if we don't replace him we will be even worse.

Winfield might be an immediate solution, but what about two or three years from now? I suppose we'll just sign another old guy, then a few years later we'll sign another old guy. It would be much better to draft a guy who could start for us in a year or two than to sign an immediate solution. Anyway, Wilson could start.

I am a bit confused because you make it sound like we have to either sign a vet OR draft a young CB, but signing either Winfield or Talib isn't going to prevent us from drafting one or two CBs. If anything it simply means we won't have to throw a raw rookie out as a starter game one. We certainly will end up with 3 new CBs on our roster and camp and preseason will determine the starting day lineup.

Drafting a corner this year is pretty much inevitable, so I just don't like the thought of wasting money on a veteran CB when we could be using that money elsewhere, on young guys.

It would be shocking if they didn't draft 2 CB and a FS this April. We still need another vet or two as well in the back field.
They will figure it out. I got faith.

I don't understand your point, can you give an example of who that money could go to? what young guys would take old CB money to play for us?

um, first we will be drafting guys, it'd be stupid not to.
second, next year we'll have money, so if we feel the need to pay a FA it could be a good young CB.
we have no money, so if we can't afford a young quality cb, and the draft isn't a sure bet to get one, guess what? you sign the old guy that can play for ONE year until you know the drafted guys can play or you have the money to pay someone that'll stick around for a while.
