[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 537993"] One thing I agree with Capers on...you build a defense by backing and filling around at least 3 play makers. Shields is a play maker. The surest path to mediocrity is giving up the play maker to sign a handful of mediocre and role-playing veterans. I would sacrifice EDS, Kuhn, Starks and Wilson to keep Shields...there's about $6.5 mil there which should come close to covering Shields. It's not like Shields is going to get the big, big money. Nobody talks about him as elite because of his draft status. He's a high second tier coverage corner; top 10 in the league in any case, but not a budget buster. I'd rather release Williams than see Shields hitting the road. As for the FAs, you said, "No day or even week-1 Gucci priced guys. But good values, and guys young enough to help for a good 5+ years like Woodson and Pickett did." You might not be aware that Woodson was a Gucci priced guy, and Pickett was close to it. I fail to see the merits in bringing in a poor man's "Woodson" for less than Gucci money when Shields is that guy and should represent good value with the imbedded prejudice against undrafted players come FA time.
