He'd make a great #3

Butler signed him to a huge contract a couple years ago and he never panned out for them bucks, but he'd be a bargain guy now, and great depth. I say we go for it.

he'd be good for CB depth at the minimum or close to it

Solid CB, cut by SD for salary cap reasons. Top notch corner, maybe not quite at Winfield/Clements level but close. He was originally a #1 pick.

I am against signing a FA CB or FS if that means we will not be able to afford a new contract for Winfield next year. Hopefully Thomas, Bostic and a 3rd or 4th round CB will be sufficient for depth. Anyway you look at it as long as Watson is not on the field we have made an upgrade - that an the continued development of the young guys.

Maybe he is willing to convert to FS, because he is to good to settle for a # 3 CB position.

Good. This is a sign that we are planning on replacing Watson.

With Thomas here, Watson is already replaced

Watson is still, as of now, depth on our team 4th maybe even 5th CB. I don't want him anywhere near a roster spot on this team.

On another note, Molden's agent is Angelo Wright. The same guy who represents Sam Adams and Pat Williams. I would think him and TD have a pretty good business relationship.

How could Wright have Molden under contract- Molden doesn't weigh over 300#--- lol

I thought you had to weigh over 300# to get Wright as you agent- ala Ted Washington and Sam Adams-

If that's the case ther may have been a weight clause for molden for wright to repesent him! If that's the case this will be the fattest CB in the league...lol:)! Go Bills!
