Pa_Falcon_Fan 2,462 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 The injury history with Hooker would make me really nervous. There is tremendous talent there, no doubt, but if the dude can't stay on the field it isn't very helpful. PokerSteve, autigerfan and egoprime II 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AUTiger7222 9,142 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Does anyone else believe that Malik Hooker's injury concerns are a bit over blown? He played in 14 games in 2018 and 13 games in 2019. ryantlanta 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

FalconFanSince1969 16,375 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 If and only if we was able to get him extremely cheap and didn't count on him at all and still drafted a safety or two. I'd prefer some solidarity back there tho Ergo Proxy 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

He played in 14 games in 2018 and 13 games in 2019. It’s not so much about his injuries as it’s about his recovery. His last injury was an Achilles. We’ve all seen how this affects a safety and it’s normally well over a year for full recovery if ever. I guess my question is what will a 2021 Malik Hooker look like?

1989Fan 16,787 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Injury history is scary, but this is the type of signing that can pay off big for a cap strapped team IF he stays healthy. Agree w those saying if you sign him you still draft a safety. If he is hurt again there is a fall back, and if he balls out and they can’t re-sign him you have a guy w a season of development under his belt.

Ergo Proxy 26,241 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 11 hours ago, Knight of God said: Injuries. Nope. Ya, sadly feels that way. Can’t have guys on IR. Almost can see Neal back instead but definitely want a S in FA. So ya, gotta not look or be a risk wrt availability. First time taking bad financial risk? Now, if he were dirt cheap, 1year prove it? Maybe. Not the first plan, unless you know FS of future is gonna be there top of round 2. I can see us doing that with S. Add a RB round 3. Or, longterm FA sign a FS and leave round 2 open for other fallers...man this offseason is hype! Knight of God 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah but those two aren't going to be cheap. I think one we bring back should be Dennard and maybe Wrey-Wilson (two depth guys on the cheap at least). Could be replaced if we upgrade. Did anyone notice DQ is listed as a UFA on Spotrac? 🤣🤣 PokerSteve 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
