Nah, it was a prudent move it’s just a stuff happens situation.

I don't think he's a corner anymore...not sure he helps a ton. They should try and find a young guy with good quicks for the slot IMHO. They don't need to be Tavon Young good, but a solid slot guy.

There's something called a salary cap...

Yeah I mean one of the upsides to waiting until the rookie deal is done to sign a player is you get an idea of if he can be reliable or not. He had already missed a season with an ACL before he was signed so it’s not like he was a picture of health who just got unlucky. Just saying, often “lock em up early” is portrayed as a no-brainer, no-risk strategy and it isn’t always.

It’s just good they were able to get Peters signed otherwise this would be a pretty rag tag looking group. As long as they don’t lose Peters/Humphrey, they’ll find a way to bandage the rest.

Pretty big loss. Hopefully they can find a way to hide it enough.

That’s Nigel Warrior

Um no, you put him on IR and then cut him in the off season.

Warrior does have slot experience.

I still wouldn't count out Bonds or Dorsey though.

Yes nobody foresaw his health issues. I think you could say the same about all NFL players. You don't know who will get hurt. Players get big contracts, and either the performance drops off or they are hurt. It's just how football is. I'm pretty sure Eric DeCosta will figure something out, as he knows more than the casual fan.

Fans back track too much, when at the time Tavon deserved his contract. It's just one of those things. Mark Andrews can be injury prone as well. If the Ravens gave him a big contract, then the same thing similar would be said "Mark is hurt too much. They shouldn't have paid him".
