Re: kaepernick, Adams, or Brown?
When I suggested it originally, I also suggested that they slide Jimmy to FS
FS = J. Smith, D. Elliot
SS = J. Adams, C. Clark
Might actually make sense given that Thomas is on the downslope, and Adams is at or near peak. (and the Jets really need the trade)
I know you're probably giving away a little something at FS in the short term, for what I think is a better player at SS. But I think J. Smith and Elliot could hold the fort for a couple years, so you could address the position in the draft.
I honestly think the Thomas contract is one it would benefit the team to rid itself of.

Re: kaepernick, Adams, or Brown?
I think it's Adams and then some distance away Kaepernick.
I just don't see them considering signing Brown until all of the off field stuff he's got going on is resolved. I don't write it off entirely if that stuff is resolved, but it's real hard for me to see them signing him with the abuse and sexual assault stuff just hanging out there. They've worked too hard on rehabbing their image and with Lamar have a real chance to grow their fan base in a way they've never been able to before to sign a guy that could undo all that work very quickly.back on twitter

Re: kaepernick, Adams, or Brown?
i don't see how they go for any of them. they aren't the team for AB no matter what AB thinks, they don't need a gigantic PR hit for a modestly better backup QB, and they already have the best secondary in the league

Re: kaepernick, Adams, or Brown?
That's the part I don't understand. Can Adams play centerfield single-high safety like Earl can? I thought all the next-gen-stat type stuff showed that Earl was still very solid last year in that role. And that role is a tough one to fill. Why are so many here so eager to give him the bum's rush?

Re: kaepernick, Adams, or Brown?
I don't know if I'd describe it as eager to give him the bum's rush.
Earl is 31
Adams is 24
Adams is at least as good at the SS position as Thomas is at the FS position, and I think it's fair to say that he will be a premium SS for longer than Earl will be a premium FS.
I personally think that the Ravens overpaid for Thomas, and think it would be wise to pass that deficit along to someone else if the opportunity exists.
And Adams adds things that might help shore up some other weaknesses that the Ravens didn't emphatically address in the draft. (namely the pass rush... )
Nothing personal. Just business.
