Well I suppose that would depend on what you consider "useless".

My take. I am usually pretty skeptical about bringing in players because it is a crap shoot usually that some other teams cast offs are better than our backups.

This is one I think has promise. I can't say I know the kid and how good he is, and under the circumstances, I don't care. SF while not great, had a solid defense and Lewis even as of now is listed #1 on SF depth. That has good odds of him being better than Martin and Peprah.

This is a move I really don't understand unless this is a planned release/resign move to mess with a contract or get around teh 53man limit.

This kind of player speculation isn't worth our time unless the Packers reported to be bringing in this player. Otherwise it's all useless chatter.

Wtf, who made you king?

Anyway, I say sign him(or someone like him) because while it may take him a bit to get the defense, we still have a hole to fill, and like what was just said, no guarantees Atari comes back on time and 100%.

Sign someone. Train them. Cuz Martin won't cut it.

I think martin is a good backup and could fill in pretty good for us untill we sign someone.Never thought he was bad this year he is a great ST player he looks like he got better in coverage,give him a shot man I think he could surprise us.

Rabid-Why not talk about bringing someone in who cares?Its not like we are telling Ted Thompson to bring him in lol.But just the idea of bringing him in.It brings up a good conversation.Why not talk about other guys when are starting SS is out for the season?For example when Ryan grant went down people made threads about trading rumors for Marshawn Lynch,DeAngello Williams,Hell even Brandon Jacobs.My point is these conversations are good discussions about the possibility of bringing people in its fun actually.

I think that the very least we have to mitigate our criticism of Martin. When he was called into the starting position last season he was joining a new defense with new terminology. Yes, he had 3-4 experience, but that's not quite enough to expect big things from him. What exactly was the grace period between being a Raven and starting for the Packers? I don't know offhand -- but I promise you it wasn't long at all. When Bigby returned and improved things defensively -- woala -- the script was written: Derrick Martin is a hack, he can't cut it, he's a liability.

Nevertheless, he made the team as a special teams stalwart and has a whole extra year (and an actual offseason) developing within the system.

I don't think he'll set the world on fire. Likewise, I don't think we'll see a precipitous dropoff in performance. I mean, we did just lose a starter. Most times things don't improve.

I think the biggest loss here is that Burnett made a lot of calls at safety, so we simply can't just sign someone off the street to come and take his spot. We need someone that knows our system.

In a few weeks we'll most likely get Harris and Bigby, albeit not at full strength. We also might have a chance to sign Blackmon back depending on his injury (and settlement) status. Overall I don't see us signing anyone. If we do I actually think we might sign a CB because we can move Bush out to S and a CB doesn't have as big of an impact on decisions and alignments as a S.

Sorry, I was just being an ass. In one sense it really is futile to talk about it because we're not in a position to do anything about it. On the other hand it's fun (and harmless) for some people.

Since this team seems to be poised for a Super Bowl run I think Ted might want to cough up one of his draft picks and trade for a good safety. We can't just let this potential Super Bowl year slip past us.
