[QUOTE="Sunshinepacker, post: 870137, member: 9033"] Tramon was a very good slot corner last year but you can't rely on him at his age for 2-3 years. I think he'll be very good next year, and inexpensive, but the team needs to fill that spot with a younger player on a longer contract. The best slot corners in the NFL get paid about half what the best outside corners get paid, even though in today's game they are just about as valuable to the defense; just look at the number of great WRs that play in the slot, either occasionally or full time. Since 2016, about 2/3 of NFL offensive plays happened with 3+ WRs on the field. Additionaly, when I'm discussing signing a good slot corner, those guys got about $8-9 million a year this offseason: Chris Harris Jr. got $8.5m and now the highest paid slot corner in the NFL at $8.5m per year. A [I]good [/I]free agent slot corner just isn't that expensive. The issue with the defense last year was run defense, yes, but that's because the team had 1 very good CB in Williams and two good corners on the team so teams that could run just preferred that. Right now the team has two good corners, one of whom is inconsistent and not always healthy, and after next year the team will have ONE good corner on the roster. That's a problem. An ILB isn't going to help that. The Packers defense was about average last year according to Football Outsiders (weighted defensive DVOA was 16th in the NFL). They were 9th against the pass and 23rd against the run. The run defense needs to improve next year but I really think the pass defense needs some longer-term players in the secondary if it doesn't want to fall off a cliff next year or the year after.
