another cb gone...

Analysis:  Cox agreed to a  four-year, $20 million contract with the Chargers on Wednesday night. The Chargers  confirmed the deal Thursday.

Wow, these are some LOW contracts for some very quality players. Looking at the money DRC and Cox received, looks like a soft market for CBs.

Seeing these numbers makes me somewhat disappointed that we didn't attempt to acquire either of the aforementioned players, especially considering the need.

Bedard said on EEI this morning that he was being told Talib is their #1 priority as far as CB's are concerened.

That's great, and Talib should be their number 1 priority... he's by far the most talented CB on the market. With that said, you need at least 3 quality CBs in today's NFL. Dennard is great and would excel in the slot, but you need another guy outside opposite of Talib.

On top of that, a hard-hitting SS would be nice as well.

Agree, if they get Talib done i think you may see a faster pace to the way they approach the rest of free agency. 

another CB down. What are they waiting for? These aren't big contracts being handed out right now. Are they waiting to see what's left over to pay the least possible? If Talib was the priority why has it taken them so long to sign him and get a 2nd CB to help? This is beyond frustrating that we all see the problems, Brady extended his deal for less money to give them extra room, and the Pats are perfectly content to pick up the scraps after everyone else has decided what they want

With the money the pats have Inwant Sean smooth and Taliban signed, will take my chances with cannon and the tackle who was hurt year the rookie who tore his pecs, lets get the two big CBS signed then sign a young unproven big wr

Yes, just a bad typer, thanks for adding to the conversation, what are your thoughts on football?

Still available...who do you want?

CB: Talib, Smith, Grimes, Winfield (slot), Lewis, Williams, Huff (S/CB)

S: Huff, Delmas, Dawan Landry

That's not a great selection left. BTW Landry signed with the Colts and I think Grimes resigned with Atl

Out of what's left give me Talib and Lewis and I'd rather have Mikell at SS, Delmas wouldn't be bad but then we'd need an ambulance on duty for our entire roster

Talib.  Calm down, dude. They like Talib. The market is settling. Why are you complaining left and right now?

What on earth has happened to you?

In response to PatsEng's comment:

Why I'm freaking out is because I've seen clear areas of need and have for a long time and they keep trying to fix it with patch fixes using the left over CB's once the market "settles". You know what type of players you get once the market settles? You get the players no other teams wanted and there's a reason for that. You get Fanenes and Springs and Boddens and Gaffneys and I'm tired of seeing the window get smaller and smaller and using this approach of waiting for the cheapest deal to plug holes. I actually went through it one day, did you know that they've given out over 26mil in signing bonuses to FAs and used 3 2nd rounders and 1 1st rounder in attempts to replace Samuel. We aren't talking Law here we are talking Sameul. Last year they had 22mil in dead money and over half of it came from players that only played for the team for 1 year or were cut before the reg season even started. If they took a chance and spent that money on a proven talent every so often instead of buying the six pack of blue ribbon and hoping one magically turns into Guinness we wouldn't still be looking for a replacement. I'm just frustrated with this bone headed approach that hasn't work time and time again in FA only finding 1 yr quick fixes who never get you over the top. I don't want them to go crazy but would it have killed them to spend a little money on Goldson 2 years ago when he was young and tons of potential instead of letting him get away over a difference of 1mil instead of signing Ellis to a $5mil deal? Yes they spend to the cap and no I don't want them to pull a philly or bills but when you have clear holes at the starting position you sometimes need to pay more to get the talent and get that extra push over the top then to sit back and wait for the 2nd and 3rd teir FA market to fall out. BTW, with only 3 picks in the first 3 rounds do you honestly see them making a trade for an impact player, honestly?

The market is flooded. Unless you had your sights set on Derek Cox and don't like Talib and the fact we know he can play in BB's D so far, what is the issue?

If Talib signs elsewhere, then it might make sense to pose the questions you're posing.

I am really shocked at your knee jeerk posts the last couple of days.

We all know BB completes the picture with FA and the draft after the draft and even into camp. We all pretty much agree where the weaker spots are and they're being addressed.

Let the moron organizations overpay for specific players who are simply out for the money and not for trying to win a SB.

Smith and Grimes gone too. Not so flooded anymore. Of the 2nd teir CBs left you have

Nnamdi, Huff??, Talib, Lewis and 3rd teir you have Williams, Hall, Arrington
