Is Drayton Florence's roster spot safe?

[psubills62]

There was a CB last year who signed with us (can't remember his name, someone want to help me out?) in free agency. Most people thought he'd be good veteran depth, though he wasn't the best CB. Then we drafted three CB's and that FA was gone.

Do you think Florence is the same kind of signing - just a camp body? Or do you think that we only drafted one actual CB (there were a lot of injuries last year), and two safeties?

Just curious

James. And yes I agree Florence is gonna have to bust his arse to make this team

[Nighthawk]

Florence will be on the opening day roster. He is a good player who had a bad season in JAX...he'll make the team.

Who knows if he makes the team. It's possible. He got a 2 year deal. It's not a one year deal. Pat Thomas probably won't make the team though. Nic Harris is gonna come in and dominate. Whoo yeah.

I think Florence makes the team. It's a little different situation from last year since we used a 1st and 4th on CB's. If Byrd plays safety and Harris plays LB, then that only leaves two late round CB's to beat out.

apparently not..

I think I agree with this, and I wouldn't be surprised to see them move Lankster to safety as well. I think they saw safety depth (especially in terms of playmakers with a nose for the ball) as an issue, and looked to address it with Byrd/Lankster. IMO, Harris is insurance due to the rash of injuries at the CB position lately.

The real question to be asking is, is Donte Whitner's roster spot safe?
