Can he give us just one year of good play left in his tank at age 35? That's all we would need out of him. Give us a legit safety duo in Reed/McCourty and maybe pass some wisdom down to Wilson/Ebner.
A secondary of Talib/Dennard and Reed/McCourty is too good to be true.
I would love to see an Ed Reed/Matt Elam safety duo myself.

In lieu of signing Talib?
The problem is Mccourty is a great zone corner and Dennard is a great man/press corner. We know for a fact Mccourty can't play man, and Dennard struggled in zone this year.
And drafting the Honey Badger late. Sign Talib, line him and Dennard up outside, slide Mathieu in the slot, and line up Reed and Elam deep, and this pass defense is great, not to mention you have two safeties that are superior in run support.
Donde esta McCourty in this scenario?
On the broader point, I agree: I wouldn't mind Reed/McCourty or Elam/McCourty. Another route would be Kenny Phillips/McCourty, depending on his asking price.
I listed McCourty in the final sentence of my last post. I just think the first scenario would be great. You finally have a pass defense that is capable of de-cleating receivers over the middle of the field while excelling in press man with two safeties that are exceptional in run support as well (something McCourty lacks in IMO). But, if not Reed, I would gladly take McCourty starting back there as well. His range is great.
I understand. I just think it's unlikely that BB will expend resources to relegate McCourty to the bench. Seems like there are at least half a dozen starting defenders from this year's team who would/should be targeted for demotion before DMac.
