Big pickup: Bengals reached agreement with safety Reggie Nelson. Jets now will need to look elsewhere.

Sucks for the Jets, lol.

I gave up on Nelson when Decoud was resigned.

Id rather have Thomas than Nelson to be honest. Decoud has ability to be top 10 FS in NFL, he just seems lost at times. Given that, I think scheme didnt put our players in the best possible position to make plays. As we all know by watching years of soft zone BS. With that said, lets see how this plays out.

I don't really understand what they are doing. The Nelson trade worked out for them but they are a team that could stand to be more aggressive in FA.

Why not go after a difference maker. The Ravens and Steelers both are vulnerable due to aging defenses.

I see Thomas's upside is that of a Ryan Clark type of FS. He will never be a true ballhawking type of safety but I think he has the smarts to make calls in the secondary and not be a liability. Nelson is a more go for broke type that will make more plays but also give up a lot of big plays as well.
