Jaire's 2 years older, and his next contract will be substantial. And if just one of the newer kids seem ready to take the next step, it might be a gamble worth taking.I've had the same thought a number of times, but was too timid to say it out loud. But if you're comfortable advancing the theory, I feel a little more brave.<img src="/styles/default/xenforo/smilies/biggrin.png"  class="smilie" loading="lazy" alt=":D" title="Big Grin    :D" data-shortname=":D" />I don't think it's just the CBs, but the entire defensive backfield (including safeties). The entire 3rd layer of the D has the potential to emerge as a dominant force, stacked at the moment with several young players who (several of them) show substantial hope for promising careers. I think that for some years now, Gute has been eagerly aniticipatiing a world in which that would become a somewhat common scenario for his larger-scale personnel management strategies.</blockquote>
