Greer has been getting absolutely torched lately. I'm not saying he doesn't still make some great plays here and there, but he is definitely getting burned a lot more on the reg now than I'd like to see. He's starting to get a little long in the tooth. Nnamdi, while not a youngster himself, adds quality depth to the cb position.

Greer is our best tackler in the secondary, but whether it's injuries or just getting older, his coverage skills have declined quite a bit over the last couple of years.

ETA I will say this. Eric Allen and Jason David make it hard for me to get super excited about a CB FA signing.

The scheme change will help everyone in the backfield. I think that there is no way they don't get more pressure than last year. I think that there is no way this D is as bad as last year. And I think having the Boss back will elevate everyone's game, including the offense which will help this D out. They won 7 games with an inconsistent offense and a defense that gave up 7000+ yards. They almost swept Atlanta who had their best team in almost a decade and were in the game against the NFC Champs until the offense disappeared mid-third quarter.

My point is that this isn't Cleveland or Arizona. They have Drew and a great offense. They are a few pieces away from being a great team and competing deep into the playoffs again. I'm a build through the draft kinda guy, but this team needs 1 or 2 impact players on D to be in the double digit wins again.
