I'd bring him back, but-& this is the key-@ the right price/not breaking the bank. I know the safety position is the defensive equivalent of a running back, but X-Man has had a good season overall IMO. Yes, he has had bad plays, but I think his positives outweigh his negatives. He also seems to give a shit too. I loved his fire during that '21 Bears game in Chicago where the team had turned into a joke. Additionally, I'd like some continuity back there after losing Love last offseason.
That said-& I forget what pod said it-apparently Xavier's agent is someone who reps safeties who always go for wherever they can get the biggest buck like Collins ending up in DC. And I don't blame them for that...it is a short career. & Xavier has obviously had his blemishes here with the ATV incident & his recent comments after the Raiders game.
Gun to head, I think he's a goner. But if we can find a reasonable deal for both parties, I'd bring him back.
Against Mac Jones and Zappe? I can't get too excited about that, definitely not enough to overlook how overage he's been against QBs that don't play for Washington or NE or the Jets.
I would not base a big FA contract on plays against Mac Jones, Zach Wilson and Sam Howell.
Not surprised by this take at all. Still ok trading AT?
I’m not saying we should sign X at any cost, just not surprised to see your take on him without even knowing what he would be asking for or what the Giants would offer.
Hate the guy you have. The next guy will be better and cheaper....
I don't think most of us are suggesting that - replacement will be better and cheaper.
Why can't a potential replacement be cheaper and almost as good or just as good?
What was the last game you watched - any teams - where you said the safety played great and was key to winning the game?
