Because Sainristil can play both spots, I think re-signing Igbinoghene would be a smart move. We’ll have a reasonable trio of starting corners, plus our 2 (hopefully) developing UDFAs currently on the PS. And that allows us to 1) move on from Davis, who held the role of baseline capable vet, and 2) target corner in the draft, but not panic if it doesn’t work out. And if we don’t land a corner in the draft, we could always sign a FA that is up and coming, sign a cheaper/older vet as insurance/competition, and/or hit UDFA again. Overall though, yeah, winding up with a good #2 would be pretty massive for the Defense.
And of course, if we do find a viable starter, we can have Sainristil playing inside, while also being the backup at outside corner (with Iggy coming in to play in the slot).
I like Martin, but yeah, he hasn’t really flashed much. Obviously there’s a symbiotic relationship between FS and the corners/pass rush, so I hesitate to criticize him much, but it seems like he’s rarely in a position to challenge deep balls. There’s a part of me that wants to see Owens challenge for the starting role, though that’s asking a lot from an UDFA. Since we’re set to lose Forrest, I could definitely see S in play during the draft, even if it’s a fair bit down on the priority list (not that I think Peters is beholden to need-based drafting).
