Look, we all WANT to keep Sam Shields.
He's our best cover corner, and he's still young.
He's been a bargain since he went undrafted and Teddy brought him in here in 2010.
Those were 4 very cheap years for how good he was.
He mad a lot of big plays, from his rookie season when he picked off Michael Vick to save that first playoff game vs Philly, to the NFC Title game pick vs the Bears that booked our ticket to the Super Bowl.
This year, he started the miracle turn-around in the Dallas game with a sensational, athletic, great hands-pick of Romo.
Now of course we all WANT him back.
But he's going to cost a LOT of money. A lot.
7, 8, 9 million a year probably.
All it takes is one team to throw an inflated-offer at him and we could lose him.
With that savings, Teddy could keep 3 guys like a James Jones, Johnny Jolly, and a Mike Neal.
Plus next year Jordy's bargain contract is up, and so will Randall Cobb's be.
Or he can use some of that $8 million and add a veteran safety, LB, and draft another CB.
The CB's on this team are not bad.
Tramon, Hayward, House, Hyde.
See a few of these reasons why Shields is too valuable to let go HERE.
