Berry would be gone before Smith.

I wonder if they can get him at about 7 mil per in a new deal

I know Berry is very popular with the fan base but Parker is a Dorsey guy and I'll be shocked if they let him walk.

Sean Smith is a solid guy, but they are gonna have to make some tough decisions in the winter.

Parker's deal would probably align with what Abdullah signed. 2 years, bout 3 mil, so I don't think that would be a problem.

He might want more thoughh

I don't see why they couldn't pay both. Parker isn't going to break the bank.

I agree with you on tough decisions. Sean Smith wont be one of those decisions though.

Oh, I don't buy that.

Parker can play corner and is in his prime. CB's are at a premium so I think he'll easily get $4 million per, if not much more.

4 mil per year sounds about right and they can afford and should give him it.


I'm not sure how Sean Smith is now an untouchable player. What I am saying is that CB will likely be on their board and if they land a young stud in the draft and they like how someone (Gaines) is progressing, than that option is on the table.

With that said, I think there are other players I'd look at first if I had a multiple choice (Mays, possibly Johnson at ILB..Bowe...a lot of the offensive line).

Thing is, in 2016 we've got like 65 million committed. Money can be put into places where th cap won't hurt us retaining players.

He's also played well for 10 games this year, so I dunno that I'd be giving him a lot yet.

I'd imagine you could get him for something like 3 years 10 mil max.

That's chump change.
