Never been a fan. I'd be surprised if CB is not a position where we sign or draft someone. Probably not to big money or with a high pick but still.

If it were me I'd be looking for a guy that can return punts and kicks as well.

Re: Ron Brooks finally gone... Thankfully

I liked Brooks coming out of college and was glad the Bills plucked him, in all honesty. He never even was able to attain the level I expected of him (nickel/dime corner), and he shouldn't have made the team this season to begin with.

Him lined up on DeAndre Hopkins in crunchtime was one of the most baffling things of the year.

Another failure on the part of Buddy Nix. Of course, his biggest failure that year was trading up in the 3rd round to draft Russell Wilson and writing the name T.J. Graham on the card instead.

I liked the Brooks pick and he actually played will in preseason of his rookie year...then he broke his foot near the end of that preseason and never seemed to be able to put it together. Definitely shouldn't have made the team vs. Cockrell this year. I wouldn't mind a mid round pick as a 4th CB, we really can't complain with our starters and Robey as a nickel. You need at least 4 good CBs (preferably 5) active on game days in the NFL now with the multiple WR sets and injuries.

Put Graham back at corner and get a real safety.

I'm just happy to agree with you wholeheartedly on something for a change.

Kinda weird he is acting like he is worth more than someone is offering.

Re: Ron Brooks finally gone... Thankfully

Gilmore, Darby, Butler, Robey, Graham. McKelvin walks to save cap room. That's a pretty solid group.

I wish him the best.

I wanted him cut after that taunting penalty on special teams.

I can forgive him for Wilson (albeit with difficulty) but if he was looking for a WR TJ over TY? C'mon Man!

I am still hot as anyone about taking TJ Graham and not one of the 3 starting QBs in the 2012 draft. But that draft did yield Stephon Gilmore, Cordy Glenn and Nigel Bradham. Not to mention, I think, Tank Carder is still playing with the Browns. So that draft wasn't a complete failure. Just another QB failure draft.

McKelvin is better than Graham right now. Graham was moved to safety in part because he can't cover very well anymore.

And I don't get how getting rid of Brooks is a "finally". He's a 5th CB. Those guys aren't very good
