Most important development here is we have rebuilt our great DB chemistry setup, with the signing of Fagundez (11th year, 86 leadership, 88 personality). He is not perfect, but he's basically the last guy in the league who would have managed this well for us.
Sp, here's where we stand at DB for this season
CB1 Pedro Sutter 67/67, Aff, 3yrs with team
CB2 Ron McIntyre 62/62, ---, 8ywt
CB3 Raul Evans 47/47, ExAff, 5ywt
CB4 Brenden Upshaw, 50/50, Aff, 6ywt
CB5 John Rodgers, 34/34, Aff, 12 ywt
SS1 Zack Christakes, 60/60, MAff, 6ywt
FS1 Bo Dennis, 41/41, Aff, 2ywt
FS2 Lamont Shireman, 45/45, PAff, 3ywt
FS3 Shawn Ellison, 28/33, PAff, 2ywt
This is a group that is pretty good overall (many of these guys, notably Evans and Upshaw have "good match" bars for my coverage scheme, making them better to my eye than their overall ratings), and will be buoyed by great chemistry and great cohesion. Only one major free agent signing here (Sutter), the rest are home grown or minsal pickups.
We'll keep Sutter this year, and let him walk into free agency next year. He would take our leadership mantle next season, and mess up our chem. SO, we will have to hope that Fagundez sticks around and gives us at least 2 or 3 seasons getting paid millions of dollars to be on the inactive roster.
