[QUOTE="A-aron Rodgerz, post: 819351, member: 13604"] Its hard to know atm what the market will be for safeties this offseason. Last year 7m+ was a pretty decent payday for a safety but maybe Reids deal will change that. The Packers are abismal at safety right now so something will have to happen. I don't see this draft class being the answer this year so free agency I think is where we're going to make our move. I don't see one of the box safeties really giving us the help we need so that's why a guy like Thomas makes sense for me. Not that there aren't other guys but I think Thomas is the type of player that could take our defense to the next level. We ranked 19th in the league last year in turnover differential in a year that Rodgers threw 2 interceptions...AWFUL. This defense seriously lacks playmakers right now so if we're somewhere near the ballpark of what he wants I think he's absolutely worth it. As someone already mentioned above, at some point we need to start being aggressive if we want to take advantage of what's left in Rodgers career. Giving Thomas a chunk of our open cap would still allow us to make moves in other areas. Signing a big safety is still a much cheaper option than getting a top edge or guard. Plus, this draft looks like we will have an opportunity to go get the edge guy we want so spending money on an expensive edge doesn't make sense to me. Like I said, I don't know how the market will play out for safeties this year but if we can get him for a solid deal (not excessive) it would still leave room for us to get guys to at least be competent in the other positions of need.
