I think Crossen has a better chance though. Dawson is at an even bigger disadvantage because Crossen is also a slot corner who has, unlike Dawson, shown something.
You can’t have too many quality DB’s in today’s NFL
It’s totally fine for Jones to only be here for 2019. If we were to worry about every free agent playing in the last year of his deal, we’d have one lengthy list, and a lot less championships over the years.Jones will play out his forth year and be an UFA when it's over. Old friend Justin Coleman just got 10 million per year as a slot CB and Jones is better. Jones is ours for this year only.
Is either Dawson or Crossen likely to make the 53?
Aren't we fine with Gilmore, Jackson, McCourty, Williams and Jones?
I think Crossen is in a much better spot. He plays lots of special teams and could win a ST roster spot. I agree that as of now, I wouldn't expect either to make the 53.
Whether you call it a ST spot or just a 6th CB, what’s the difference? It sounds like you are suggesting the idea that Bill Belichick has a certain amount of roster spots to go around and that he’s never been flexible on such matters.also, neither is "quality" defensive back
However, there is a better use for a roster spot than 6th corner. I would expect that they will be on the roster until the final cut.
People are crazy if they think Dawson will be cut. If he is gone it'll be via trade.How many times have we seen a 2nd round pick cut in his 2nd summer, before he even gets a chance to play in his 2nd season? Has it ever happened in the BB era?
Considering the fact that Dawson was injured for a good portion of last year, I think it’s fairly safe to assume that he’ll be making the roster.
Even then, they’d likely get way less than the 2nd round pick they just spent about a year ago. I’m honestly a bit surprised that this is even a discussion.People are crazy if they think Dawson will be cut. If he is gone it'll be via trade.
It's crazy. He very well may suck but Bill rarely moves on from players too early. Need more time to evaluateEven then, they’d likely get way less than the 2nd round pick they just spent about a year ago. I’m honestly a bit surprised that this is even a discussion.
