I have no idea why, as he graded out as one of the worst corners in football in 2022.

We have enough guys in Flott, Robinson, and Belton to play nickel. We need a boundary guy.

It must be great to suck at your job, and get paid a lot of money to do it.

VSB signings like this are come in to camp and compete. Wait for the guarantee $ to see if we expect to keep him (eg Olszewski) vs. will take a look (Mackenzie). Holmes has ST value so that, not NCB, is likely where he is fighting for a roster spot.

Yup. Unfortunately for us fans, he is not the only one on this team who can make that claim. Including much higher up the pay scale.

J: I believe Robinson is a boundary guy, but unless he finds a way to stay on the field he'll never get the necessary experience so that they can trust him out there. Bob

Rick: I don't know what they see in him. If that's the "best" they can come up with, we are almost certain to see them take at least two more CB's in this year's draft to go along with the two taken last year. Bob

They're bringing him into camp to show the other DB's how not to play the CB position.
