CB problems solved. The Packers signed a FA. đ
Seriously how can they put a 3 yr veteran who was a starter onto the PS?

This is a real good signing. Low cost, low risk, probably no reward, but maybe a decent to high reward. As a rookie in 2014 he was a slot CB and played great. I think PFF had him as the top rated rookie CB and like 7 or 8 overall. Z2C, can you look that up?
In 2015, he did not play as well, though they had him outside more and then in December he broke his leg.
He came off PUP during training in 2016 got into at least one shoving match and wouldn't settle down because a TE was blocking him in a way he thought wasn't right in practice. He then hurt his foot. He started his 1st 4 games mostly at outside CB and was cut after week 4 after giving up most of 300 yards to Julio Jones in week 4. Rivera said his cut went beyond his performance, that everyone must be on same page. So it sounds like he was not taking well to the coaching. He also may have been playing injured.
Then Miami claimed him on waivers, put him on their practice squad a bit later [which means no team claimed him] and cut him Nov. 8, he was with Miami about 1 month. Miami had him for a month and said, no mas.
He's a min salary guy and no one claimed him and he'd be an ERFA in 2017, so you get him for like 600-650K for 2017. Then he's a RFA in 2018. None of the 32 teams believe even at this bargain rate he was worth a roster spot. So he's lost some speed and/or cutting ability and/or he's a cancer. So well see if Whitt can whip him up to speed and remove his head from his ass and that his full skills return 1 more year removed from injury. If not, all we lost is Baxter and in 3 weeks we can sign him to a futures contract too.
