With the first two waves of free company behind us, it’s time to pause and mirror on what has been finished and what wants stay. Our personal Donald Gooch explored what wants stay simply yesterday, with Safety at the prime of the listing of remaining wants. While Jaquan Brisker stays unsigned by any staff and stories counsel he won’t be a goal for Dennis Allen’s protection, I’m curious to listen to what you all assume.
Should the Bears re-sign Jaquan Brisker?
I say sure. With the majority of obtainable beginning safeties now off the market and the most up-to-date deal for Nick Cross (2 years $14 million) and Kevin Byard III (1 yr $9 million), it appears protected to say Brisker received’t price an excessive amount of. Especially when contemplating his concussion historical past and play type. However, pairing the bodily Brisker with the newly acquired Coby Bryant, who’s extra rangy and versatile in type, seems like an excellent concept to me.
Assuming he doesn’t price greater than $5-6 million per yr.
Also, this may NOT prohibit me from focusing on a Safety in the first three rounds if the worth was there, however bringing again a home-grown expertise who has embraced the metropolis, on a team-friendly deal, makes an excessive amount of sense to me.
If he can string collectively his first-ever consecutive wholesome seasons and carry out in the newly revamped Dennis Allen protection, the 26-year-old former Nittany Lion ought to have loads of suitors as he enters the prime of his profession.
