[QUOTE="Dantés, post: 864743, member: 12283"] Tramon would cost 5-6M to bring back. So that cap number is the starting point for any expenditure on a free agent corner. I think the Packers would be smart to pay a little more for someone who isn't quite so old. Maybe 8-9M? Some names that come to mind. Chris Harris Jr. would be excellent for a couple years in the slot. He's entering his age 31 season and had a down year by his standards last year. But that's largely because Fangio asked him to play outside. Richard Sherman got 9M annually from the 49ers entering his age 30 season (2018). So a little younger, and an outside cornerback. Maybe Harris costs 8M? Mackensie Alexander had a solid season last year, mostly in the slot, for Minnesota. But he doesn't have a lengthy pedigree of success to market himself. Our new DB's coach obviously has a lot of experience with him so he'd be able to give pretty good intelligence on whether he'd be worth it. Kendall Fuller was a fantastic slot cornerback in Washington. The Chiefs moved him to safety, where he wasn't as effective. Perhaps a move back to corner is in order? As to your comment in bold, I disagree. Not that they aren't young, but that they should avoid a veteran in order to see what they have. They obviously know what they have in Alexander-- he's a stud. They basically know that King is an inconsistent corner with durability problems in a contract year. After that, no one has anything remotely close to the pedigree that should make the Packers count on them playing a major role. Sullivan was solid as a dime player. He may or may not be capable of more. Counting on it would be an unnecessary risk. Jackson has shown nothing but that he's capable of being a liability. Hollman was a 6th rounder and we've seen nothing from him. To pass on veteran help to see what we have in those guys would be foolish. And if one of these youngsters emerge, then great! Use him to replace King. [/QUOTE]
