What were his PFF metrics?
"There is a greater purpose...that purpose is team. Winning, losing, playing hard, playing well, doing it for each other, winning the right way, winning the right way is a very important thing to me... Championships are won by teams who love one another, who respect one another, and play for and support one another."
~ Coach Tom Coughlin

Good player but more of a stopgap at age 31. Not the type you build for the future with.

Edit for the individuals here who need more context: not that there's anything wrong with signing an older vet for a year or two.

Not every signing needs to be a "build for the future" type. There's value in signing very good vets on shorter deals, with much less risk for underperformance and then being locked into a long contract.

His pass coverage grade was 4th-highest in the league last year. Signing Williams would remove the need to draft a CB high this year, giving them one more year to see if Hawkins develops.

Did I say otherwise. Lol, yes some players are signed to play a role for a year or two. Thanks for clarifying that.

Watch out for Kenny moore as well, our DC likes running dimes I believe and having a slot defender that is huge in the run and pass to compliment flott will help a lot.

79.5 overall grade.  Stong coverage but weak run defense

I would really like this upgrade at a vital position that may be difficult to improve through the draft, with so many other needs. If he can give us 2 years of high production so the other areas can get upgraded before having to address CB again.

Quote from: Brooklyn Dave on March 11, 2024, 10:03:18 AMI don't know anything about him . Is he better than Jackson ? Will he start or just be for depth ?

30 years old plus level starter.   Because he was released by the Jags, signing him would impact the comp pick formula

He was the 4th-best rated cover corner in the league last year. He'd be our #1 CB.
