Just another mediocre safety for the ‘boys. Jerry needs to spend some money and pick up a real safety in the offseason, too late for this year. The ‘boys haven’t had a decent safety since Darren Woodson!!

When a team signs a player, they take on the injury risk. When a player refuses to resign and plays out his contract, he takes on the risk. That risk is worth money. You can take less money and put the cost of injury risk on the team, or you can play out your contract, take the cost of injury risk on yourself, and pray you don’t get hurt. This guy tried to go for the bigger money, and now he has to pay the cost of injury risk. Obviously, it would have been better to take less money up front and put the risk on the team.
