Big money, but he earned it last season. And I'll say it: Patrick Peterson is the best corner in the game. At least until Revis Island returns this year.



Re: Lawrence injury

Wow, 8-12 weeks is a long time for a defense that will now be relying on Melton and Selvie to provide a pass rush. Perhaps Spencer will get healthy and be able to provide some pressure. But that pass rush won't be intimidating, to say the least.

Also, no way I would have paid PP that type of money. Waaaaaaaay too much money. These teams are just paying for egos. I wouldn't have paid anything over what Sherman was getting and even then it's too much for my liking.

Not to mention that Peterson is a little overrated. Here is what they said about Peterson on pro football focus.

[B]Patrick Peterson, Arizona Cardinals,[/B]
The hype for Peterson has been mostly of his own doing of late, as his social media "feud" with his fellow cornerbacks has made headlines.

Similar to Green, Peterson has all the physical talent in the world and uses it well for the most part, but he hasn't done it on a weekly basis like some of league's other top cornerbacks. Overall, Peterson ranked 15th among cornerbacks with a plus-5.9 coverage grade, but he did so while tracking the opposition's top wide receiver 55 percent of the time.

His assignment may be more difficult than some of the league's other corners, but he has yet to perform at a level that puts him into the top echelon at the position. He surrendered seven touchdowns into his coverage -- tying for third most in the league -- while his 1.00 yards/cover snap tied for 15th. Using interception numbers to judge a cornerback may be even worse than using tackles for a linebacker, but Peterson got his hands on only nine passes (three intercepted, six passes defensed), a number you would expect to be a little higher for a top cornerback that was targeted 90 times.

Another similarity to Green is Peterson's week-to-week consistency issues, as he finished seven games with negative coverage grades, including a disastrous Week 15 performance that saw him surrender nine catches on 10 targets for 146 yards, most of which came at the hands of Tennessee Titans wide receiver Kendall Wright. While we're certainly not going to hold one game against a player, these are the types of performances that must be avoided if Peterson is going to take the next step to rank among the best cornerbacks in the league. Until then, he's a very good player who takes on assignments of above-average difficulty on a weekly basis.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!
 

Dallas is always in cap hell yet can constantly hand out huge contracts? They lost a ton on D this year and I think that's just the beginning. Chickens coming home to roost over the next 1-3 years.

Dez will want a contract soon, by that time, either Romo is gone or way too old to be effective. Just once, I want another team besides us to be the doormat for a decade or so.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!
 

Yeah $100 million dollars is scary money, reminds me of AH.. However, IF he performs well and stays healthy for the next 10 years, I suspect it would be a good deal for them. The cap number and average contracts for LTs will likely continue to rise, so renewing a contract in his prime 4-5 years from now would have been more than that, etc.

However, (1) will he continue to be good enough, (2) will he stay healthy

The tracker will be sued to track how far and fast a player runs. It seems like it will only be used for Thurs Night football games. The skins game will have them.

3 things:

1 - i wonder if the NFL made Zebra Technologies sign a non-compete clause to keep espn, fox and others from using the same technology

2 - cant wait to see desean's tracking stats

Sucks for the Giants, but speaking as a football fan and not a Redskins fan, perhaps we'll get to see Andre Williams sooner. I love Williams and think he'll be a great player. Feel like a traitor to say it, but Williams and Odell Beckham were two of my favorite players in the draft.

What were you more ok with, the Buffalo starting D man handling the Giants starting offense or Peirre-Paul getting put in his place by a 7th round Tackle pick?

And as expected, EJ Manuel is still a major bust.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!
 

I thought Manuel was ok as a rook, certainly not bust territory yet. Can't tell much from two series last night in a glorified scrimmage.

Re: Around the League...Training Camp Style!
 

There is only one relevant fact from last night's game: football is back!

Otherwise the HoF Game is as relevant to the season ahead as Colt Brennan.

Andre Williams looked pretty solid. That 21 yard TD run was nice. Oh, and Kyle Williams' strip-sack of Eli was beautiful.

Re: EJ Manuel. I liked him coming out, and still think he can be a solid QB. That coaching staff needs to up their game with his mechanics though.
