I think we have pretty good handle on his health, certainly more than those who might overpay him. Let's see where this goes. Not everyone in KP's situation winds up leaving. Sometimes it is easier and better for the market to tell him he's not worth as much as his agent thinks. It's better for him to learn it that way than to think we're jamming it down his throat.
No one remembers who came in second.
I don't know... The Chargers signed Bob Sanders without much fuss (admittedly, it was only a single-year deal, late in his career).
But my point is that if a team is desperate enough, they won't hesitate to make a move.
Injury history appears to pose little of a barrier.
I'm torn over this, on one hand we could potentially lose a very talented safety yet on the other hand I like that we aren't going to over pay a guy who hasn't seen the field as much as he should have over the course of his career. If he does go though I hope we draft a safety high.
Im not surprised he wants to test the waters. Why not? He's a free agent and wants to see what deals are out there. Would love to have him back but we may not be able to afford him.
