[QUOTE="adambr2, post: 544888, member: 7277"] If Shields is just looking for $5-6$M, there is no reason that we haven't put his contract behind us by now. Corner is not a position where you can afford to go into training camp with a lot of questions. Tramon may be gone after next year. Beyond that, we have a ton of question marks. Hayward can be exceptional, but he's not built for outside coverage and his hamstrings have raised some red flags. House hasn't proven to be much more than a decent dime back. Hyde showed some flashes, but he's still a relative unknown. I'm seeing a somewhat troubling trend. We've handed out bloated contracts to some very average defensive players like Brad Jones and Morgan Burnett. (Can you imagine if Raji had accepted our offer of $8M a year? How bad would that contract look already?) We've let some pretty solid contributors walk in the process, like Jenkins. I'm struggling to understand why our staff is seemingly having such a difficult time evaluating talent on defense. They SHOULD know best, but the guys they're paying aren't really reflecting that. And we're paying the price with a poor defense that gets really overmatched against elite offenses. I really think they need to re-evaluate how they measure value on the defensive side of the ball. We can only thank Raji for allowing us to avoid the big one with his decision to turn down an extension. [/QUOTE]
