I mean our CB group has to be among the cheapest in the league right now given we have two 2nd round contracts starting and little else. There’s plenty of room to add a legitimate outside corner with length if they decide to. They damn well should.
Robertson being signed early doesn’t mean he was some huge priority at the expense of another move, it just means they came to terms with a target quickly who otherwise may have resigned in DET or somewhere else, and pulled the trigger when they were comfortable with it. Obviously he was their top realistic add at slot DB, we’ll see if they were right.
I’m not a fan of the signing from the jump but you seem to have this fixation where you think they’re doing one single task at a time and that time spent on players is a zero-sum game. We have a whole FO staff, that’s not the case. Robertson is probably a Newmark pet project.
Like you kept going on that they focused all their energy on Pierce and didn’t move on to a backup plan. Which is such a weirdly linear way to think given all their secondary and tertiary targets other than Shaheed are still out there. And the longer they’re out there comparing offers, the cheaper they get. The main guys we’ve been connected to (Jennings and Doubs) are still out there. There was no need to immediately sign one when Pierce didn’t work out, but you’re stuck on it.
They can do multiple things at once. Striking out on one high end target doesn’t mean they’re now behind on their targets further down the list. It’s not like the HC search.
And this is all from someone who has been very critical of Peters btw. I just think you’re being unreasonable about the wrong things.
