What do you folks think about adding Chris Harris as a backup safety?
Hate to beat a dead horse here but, TT just doesnt add a lot of veteran cast offs from other teams, Being a pro bowler is vastly overrated now a days with the superbowl team sitting out, and harris' best quality is playing around the line of scrimmage and is a guy who gets beat in coverage a lot. I think Charlie Peprah , and a healing Burnett are going to be the safety tandem for the rest of the year ( barring injury of course)
That's a good questi0n. Not so much Chris Harris but the safety position itself. This thread brings up a more serious problem that we might have to face down the road. It came up earlier when Collins was injured/ IR and at that point I didn't think TT would jump at a replacement safety. Now, with Burnett's injuries, I'm not so sure. I think there may be a need there. The question is, who? I don't think TT will go for Harris, if the Bears are having their problems with him and getting rid of him they are doing so for a reason. Knowing TT, he won't touch him with a 10 foot pole. I'm not sure who is even on the market and what TT would be willing to give up for one if anything. It may be a situation like last year, nobody. I guess we'll just have to trust TT's wisdom in this.
Trades wont happen, the deadline is past...
So if anyone is picked up it will have to be a free agent(someone not on any team someone that is just sitting waiting for a call) or someone on a practice squad (if that option is allowed at this time)
So a player who isn't on a team because he was cut can't be signed by another team for the rest of the season?
all practice squad players are free agents and can be plucked up by any team. Anyone cut goes thru the waiver wire process, we can pickup anyone waiting at home.LTF is right, no more trades.
Hey we could probably get T.O.
1] will he play above average special teams? and 2] he's got to beat out Pat Lee to make it.Asante Samuel a disgruntled Eagle, could we use a cornerback? ................................ Yeah, he'll fit in real nice around here!
