Your proposing we keep Herndon and add King? So cut our young developing players that we hope by mid season will be starting?

Next, Herndon ran a 4.47 and King a 4.5 when they were drafted. Since neither of us have timed these guys lately we need to assume Herndon IS faster(not by much) than King.  So if you do not like Herndon's speed your going to be disappointed in King.

I can't see bringing in a marginal replacement and eating 2.5 million in dead money AND paying the guy, but who knows?  (about 1/3rd of our remaning cap room) I feel like you are Brice Pauping me? Let's wait and see what the Jags do.

You add King and waive your last corner.  I'm talking about football speed not a 40 time.  Have you watched Jags games in recent years?  You don't want Herndon in man coverage because he get beat regularly. Jerry Rice ran a 4.7, you think he's slow because of his 40 time?  We aren't in rebuild mode anymore and have a shot at the  championship this year so if you think he's an upgrade to what we have bring him in.  I'd also be good with bringing in Melvin Ingram.  You would rather keep Chaisson since he younger though I'm sure.
