I really hope he can contribute in a big way but Terrance Mitchell is now 30 and in a new system. Then again he is 2 years younger then Butler. I'm pulling for him.
He has 4.5 speed, so average CB speed but he does possess elite agility and is decent everywhere else assuming he got stronger since his rookie year. Malcolm Butler was a tenth of a second slower than Mitchell at his pro day and that guy made the Pro Bowl once. Forty times are overrated by many fans.DB coach on why he thinks Terrance Mitchell will start for us.

Jalen Mills is their #1 CB, and he played well last season.Mitchell is a jag. If he's our CB#1, we're in trouble.
Mitchell's 40 time was 4.63 and he's been in the league for 7 seasons, so not sure why you bring up his rookie year. He's played for 5 different teams in those 7 seasons. The last 2 seasons he's allowed a 102 passer rating, 11 TDs, and 13.3 yds per completion.

If Butler can't beat Mitchell, he's done.Jalen Mills is their #1 CB, and he played well last season.
Mitchell, Wade and Butler have a chance to be their #2.
Its probably a revolving door all season.The CB position is open for anyone.
His combine 40 was 4.63s but he claimed he ran a 4.43s at a private workout (lol):He has 4.5 speed, so average CB speed but he does possess elite agility and is decent everywhere else assuming he got stronger since his rookie year.

...and when Jonny Badmostly was the CB in the last game of the season 4-1/2 years ago......Slow CBs tend to allow big cushions because they are afraid to get burnt. Defenses cant get off the field because they give up too many 3rd down conversions. We saw this when Wheatley and Darius Butler were the CBs.
Sadly, to me, this is a reset year for the defense. Not a retooling or reload, but a full reset. I expect some really frustrating stretches. Still trust they'll be in the upper half at the end of the year, with a ranking of 13th or so, helped largely by smoke and mirror gameplans that can confuse bad teams and sometimes slow down better ones.Jalen Mills is their #1 CB, and he played well last season.

Mitchell improved his forty time at his pro day from 4.63 to 4.52. I said I assumed he got stronger from his rookie year because he was weak, only benching it 8 times.Mitchell's 40 time was 4.63 and he's been in the league for 7 seasons, so not sure why you bring up his rookie year.

I'm not sure what this means, IMO this year is a total unknown for the defense... I guess the same thing you're saying.Sadly, to me, this is a reset year for the defense.

Great CBs are so rare....and when Jonny Badmostly was the CB in the last game of the season 4-1/2 years ago...
