When he was with the Packers, I didn't quite understand the fanfare he received. When he landed the 4 year, $24,500,000 contract with the Jacksonville Jaguars, including $10,000,000 guaranteed, I happy for him and glad the Packers didn't match.

And now the Jaguars, the 1 - 5 Jaguars have benched him in favor of Dwayne Gratz. House will still play in the Nickel though, which is probably his highest ceiling value.

Do you still wish the Packers re-signed Davon House knowing he's been benched AND knowing how the young Packers secondary has fared?

I hate to admit I was likely one of those who reluctantly wanted to see him retained out of the fear of the unknown and/or memories of T-Buck and Ahmad Carroll. I'm glad to be wrong and chuckled a little bit reading this.

It is a tough question. I wish we could have kept him, but the money was beyond his value so I am glad he walked (and we will get a good comp pick). Our young DBs are playing great, but we wouldn't have needed to draft 2 of them IMO if we could have signed House to a reasonable deal and could have concentrated on another position in the draft.

While I didn't want to see him go, I couldn't help but think...why does Jax think they know more about developing young DB's than we do? That can't be right. Turned out it isn't.

He was looking to get paid and clearly went to the team with the highest offer. After seeing what Jacksonville game him, I was definitely glad Ted Thompson didn't match because I never valued him much higher than a third or fourth CB on the roster behind Williams and Shields. Both Randall and Rollins have starter potential and have played pretty well given they're rookies and only have room to grow. They've definitely made Heyward expendable once his rookie contract is up.

I would have liked to have him back but only for 1-2 million. I suppose it would have been nice to have him back so as to have a little experience to balance out Randall and Rollins.

Who has played well for the Jaguars?
Jacksonville is the only NFL team that doesn't have a single player you would trade for.

I've always liked House, to me he has the size, speed and skills to be a very good CB outside. He has always played great in man coverage but he wasn't good in zone, dunno what the Jags play.

Honestly I think he is in the pack with Shields, Hayward and Randall, not a lot better nor a lot worse than any of them.

We are better off now without House and with Randall and Rollins - although if we had re-signed House, we undoubtedly would have another quality player procured with either the first or second round pick.

Thompson was clearly right to not pay anywhere near what House got from Jacksonville.

I saw House covering Deandre Hopkins, man coverage on Houston's best receiver last Sunday, and I thought House did a damn good job; I doubt they have anybody better to replace him with.

Both of Jags DB coaches coached Davon House in college. So they thought they both knew House and what he was physically able to do. I remember a quote from when he was drafted, his coached said he played his final year with an injury and that's why he dropped, they were expecting him to go in the top rounds of the draft and after signing him they talked about not understanding why the Packers didn't play him more, he did so well.

House does seem to have most of the physical potential the question is can he get the rest?
