I mean, safety?
Ultra non-need.



Disagree. Just 3 years ago we were keeping like 2 or 3 extra safeties for special teams alone. Last year we played with 3 safeties on the field like 70% of the time on defense. So a guy like Rafael Bush is taking on a bigger role there, where he was once saw as a special teams guys. We need other guys like Sunseri who can play special teams, and also fill in when these guys need a breather.

It could allow us to keep an extra WR or RB that isnt strictly a special team player(like Roby was at WR).

Hmmm.

You make interesting points.
I'll meditate on this and get back to you all.

That's a great point too. It could also free us up from feeling we NEED to bring in 6 WRs or 5 HBs.

Solid points

More depth at DB(ecspecially) in this league never hurts.

we've had some decent special teams/db guys over the years. gleason, bush, bellamy, giordano, groce, craft, deloatch, etc

could find a niche as one of those guys
