[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 619031"] "Good bet" sounds about right. There are reasons he's not a lock. He's been injured a lot in the past and he's injured now. That appears to be the basis of McGinn's assessment. Further, he's in his contract year. If he were to stay injured up to opening day, the Packers just might part ways. What good is he if he can't play while also being a short timer? The CBs taken in the first two rounds are not simply replacements for the departing FAs. Hayward is in a "d*mned if he does and d*mned if he doesn't" season. If he plays well on the perimeter he'll be too expensive to retain given Shields' contract and the draft capital expended on the top two picks in this most recent draft. I think it's a fair assumption that Hayward being in his contract year was weighed heavily in the Randall selection. On the other hand, if Hayward plays poorly on the perimeter, his value to this roster is severely diminished. And in the latter case, somebody might offer him some decent coin anyway to play nickel following this season. Hayward's a cheap player this season, carrying a $1.05 mil cap number. That is a compelling argument to retain him if he can make his way to the field, or if he's projected to make the field sometime before mid-season when final cut downs come around. On the other hand, he's not worth anything if he can't get on the field while the Packers would gain $840,000 in cap savings if he's released. Good bet...yes. Lock...no. [/QUOTE]
