Lattimore’s future amidst CB depth (2 Viewers)

With the way the CBs are playing and having to pay Adebo after this season what are the chances we deal lattimore before the trade deadline

Have Lattimore and Kamara agree to take massive paycuts while simultaneously giving them 100% of the tolls made on the Causeway for five years. That's totally not circumventing the salary cap, right?

We are not dealing Lattimore if he’s healthy and we are in contention.

If he misses a couple more games and the def and more importantly the CB keep playing like this I’m not so sure. I’m not saying I want it to happen but it just may

I don't think he's tradeable this season with his recent injury history and with his contract numbers. If the secondary continues to play the way it is, he may be cut before next season though. Just for the cap saving alone.

I knew this f#$@&(+- post was coming!!

We are a better team with the talent a depth we have, Lattimore is not expendable because we're talented at a position.

In the end we won't be able to pay both Lattimore and Adeebo. So Lat might make the more likely trade candidate given his availablity. It certainly seems he is the type of player that doesn't play when banged up a bit.

Why do we need to pay Adebo? Just draft a CB in the 1st or 2nd every year and never resign them. DA knows DB's. We should never pay another one a lot of money ever again.

A player like Lattimore could be the difference between this being a mere good team versus us being a championship caliber team.

I say keep him. Depth at that position is too important to a potential playoff run.

DA held him out this week. He also said Lattimore wanted to play.

_allas really only had one WR in Lamb as a threat, and Adebo handled the assignment just fine. Philadelphia will present a much bigger challenge with A.J. Brown and Devonta Smith - if the decision was to play him in only one of these next two games, Philly is the much smarter game to save him for.

Why yall keep coming up with these threads...

Have you no hearts?

Why would you separate Mike Evans from his daddy?

(We need Lattimore when there's more than 2 playmakers.. like Eagles have in their receiving core)

You can never have too many good DB’s in today’s NFL. Our team is snake bitten when it comes to injuries and it’s always good to have that insurance sitting on the bench.

 

[Patman255]

We never get through a season without at least 1 CB, and sometimes 2 hurt. The defense revolves around their ability to cover (unlike a defense that depends upon its pass rush). In this current age of quick strike offenses in the NFL to combat the superstar pass rushers, I think that our decisions to premiumize the defensive backfield over the defensive line is what allows us to field a better defense than most.

I would no more get rid of Lattimore than I would get rid of a great pass rusher even if we have two other good pass rushers. We need all of them.

Ah, gone are the good old days when we pick CB's off the couch to strangle Brady in the Dome.
