Back with his old coach I guess. I liked him more than a lot of people. He was solid for KC 2 years ago, and he was better last year for us than most of our guys back there (not saying much but still).
Its interesting they made this move even after I took Christian Gonzalez for them in the mock draft. Did we not forward the results to them so they know Christian is coming?
Depends on how he does this season, I would think.
He stayed healthy for a full season, and played good, for a rookie. That was nice to see.
He has to repeat that and show some growth.
Hughes was one of the worst corners in nfl statistically speaking last year… I think the only guy worse was AO. Addition by subtraction getting rid of those 2.
Okudah would cost $11.5m to pick up his option. Already this year he has the 13th highest cap hit among CBs, and with next year’s number he’d be pushing the top 10. Given that the decision needs to be made before he plays another down, there’s no way he’s worth that.
I’d also venture that if the staff had high hopes for Okudah then Moseley wouldn’t have been signed.
I think there’s only a small chance we can trade him too, he’d cost the acquiring team about $5m (with $5m dead cap for the Lions), which combined with his injury history and inconsistency on the field isn’t a very attractive package.
