Phillips was decent his first few years in the league. Expectations are low so I can live with a one year deal.

What I like about this is that he's playing for his career.  Motivation won't be a question.  He's got one shot.

Another thing to consider is you need real players at SOME parts of the secondary so you can effectively evaluate the the other players you have. When you sign relatively unproven guys like Fletcher, you can't throw him out in front of a safety pair like Colt Anderson and David Sims last year, he's doomed for failure. Get players. You can't easily fill all your holes with perfect uninjured players who are younger than 26 in one offseason.

exactly

phillips isnt even guaranteed to make the team....but if healthy hes a starting safety and a damn good one....i also like that he can play strong or free

not just corners like you said but imagine how much better a healthy kenny phillips could make nate allen look....this isnt at all to make excuses but since his rookie year hes had to play next to kurt farging coleman

I agree. I still think there's something to be salvaged with Allen. He's underachieved, no doubt but I think there's something there in the right situation. Maybe a change in staff and a quality safety alongside him will bring it out.

absolutely....he can never be your point man at safety...

but next to a leader who can be like - nate dont worry about me dont worry about making a call dont worry about making a mistake just cover ground and make plays on the ball - he still has a chance to be a solid free safety

I like this too.

Here's how its gonna go though...

He'll ball out on this 1yr deal...stay totally healthy and knock bitches out.

He'll get an extension and we'll all be pumped....then the injuries will hit again. Cut after two years on the extension.

I hope he continues to recover and maybe the could take a look at him in case there are any injuries at safety this year.

Zanshin

Haha. I'm not so much worried about the injuries at safety as much as I am about the level of their play even when completely healthy.

Haha - who're you FoxNews?! You left off the good stuff.

At least he didn't get an extension and then have it blow up.
