Safety play is presently a STRENGTH of this team. I see no reason to move from the rotation of Sanders, Meriweather and Chung, with Sergio Brown as an emergency safety and special teamer. The #4 is Page who had played very well indeed. If Page can be re-signed, I see us more than complete, with Lockett and Barrett as possibilities in camp.
I see absolutely no reason for dumping Meriweather. He is certainly at least a quality backup for us. He is NOT a liability as a backup.
======================
That being said, the issue for me (the only issue) is that both Sanders and Meriweather will be in their contract years. No one knows which will be signed for 2012. So, yes, we will look for a safety in the draft, but there will no pressure at all. If the value and player is there, then we'll draft one.
But there is no need and no room on the roster. Consider if we found another Chung at 33 and dumped Meriweather. The team would be likely be WEAKER for 2011. A rookie safety is not at all likely to contribute as much as Meriweather, and is unlikely to be able to start if needed. Getting rid of Meriweather makes no sense to me. It reminds of all the times posters wanted to dump Sanders.
