I think they are really counting on Shaq to become the #1 guy and take over. Maxwell will probably be resigned along with Coleman.hawknation2018":32fucw4e said:RussB":32fucw4e said:
Shaquill Griffin
Justin Coleman (RFA)
Byron Maxwell's return (will need to re-sign him)
Deandre Elliott
That could be a very good group. We'll see. Are we taking Maxwell's re-signing for granted?

My guess is they are trying to retool the secondary and that they will go after a strong safety. If Derwin james or another top safety prospect is available they will take him. Letting go all these vets on D really just says they are rebuilding the defense. They might even pull something unexpected and try to trade up to take a guy like minkah fitzpatrick or james.

I really like Shead and hope we can get him back on the cheap. If not, go out and make some money my dude!
Inaccurate, we have several that are not named Sherman and Shead.

Deandre Elliot and Neiko Thorpe? The only proven CB we have rostered is Shaq Griffin.

Shead was going to be a UFA this season but his contract was extended a year when the Hawks kept him on the PUP. This is a common scenario that the NFLPA and agents tend to litigate and win, because it has to do with whether the player could have played.
The Hawks could argue Shead was only at 90% 10 months after an ACL, but the NFLPA would bring up Pete's comments throughout about how well the rehab was going, and argue that we only activated Shead going into week 16 because McDougald was questionable with a knee injury. Maybe we win that and maybe we lose it, but either way you don't want the way you are handling your injury report/IR/PUP to be scrutinized too closely by a third party.
It's very common for a team to dodge litigation on a fringe player like Shead by releasing him now and then potentially re-signing him depending on the interest he gets from other teams. If somebody else signs him then it's not a huge loss, and if not we can get him in at a better number going forwards than if we won a case against him to play out a single season.
This^. The Shead love affair is only because he wears the blue & action green. An NFL caliber player for sure but he is depth and the lions are over paying (by a lot!)SoulfishHawk":195mzeo1 said:I'm clearly in the minority, and that's fine. He's an average player who can't stay healthy. Much like Lane.
Not a big loss at all.
