But other factors such as him coming from un-drafted free agent, nurtured and given the opportunity to play the reps while under achieving the first few years. his size back then was a major disadvantage. He got stronger, tougher, and QUICKER since then.  Because the packers allowed him to. GB dumps him back then and he probabally  works a 9-5er like the rest of us...... Also he will get the premiere CB $$$ when he shows he can consistently do it year in and year out... 3/4 of the way through the contract and he's still playing at an all-pro level, he will get his. Tramon..........We are paying full retail price for him. Thompson likes having great starting CBs. In my opinion, the CBs drafted the last few years will be his replacement. Because of cost and nothing else. He's a very good player.  Hayward is a star in the making. SURELY he was hampered by injury last year, more than we know IMO. I expect a push for tramons starting spot this year. He's a stud who just needs time on the field. House was a favorite of mine. But his injuries are too often. seems like he is getting bigger and stronger, which has helped him stay healthier lately. a good trend. Because we can keep him at an affordable price, and have a great talent in our depths. Micah Hyde is a stud also. Moving him to safety is a mistake IMO. Let him play CB, and struggle a bit like damn near every great CB does early on. Not like he's bad, just a half step behind consistently. At least he makes the tackle right away. Give him the reps and he will close in on the recievers. get his ints. get his pass defenses. and still be a great tackler. add some age and NFL regiment, he will be punishing for a CB... Safety talk is out of desperation and short sightedness. I understand the logic. And he could do it.  But the stud 3rd CB that can blitz, tackle big WRs, and hopefully tighten up his coverage into a strength instead of weakness... Eventually developing into a starter some day possibly. Much more valuable than a under sized safety IMO. You want a safety, draft a safety... Bush... I was his biggest critic for years. but he has developed into a very good depth guy. Still gets burnt every once in a while. but is a good tackler, and gets his share of ints on not many reps... Special teams ace. we should be happy to have him. That's 4 good players besides Sheilds and Tramon. Restructuring might not even keep him here if Hayward and Sheilds continue to get better. Or house stays healthy.</blockquote>
