Better in coverage, no liabilities.

Woah, wait a minute. We wouldn't pay Whitner 28, but we're going to pay him 26?

Let AB take a look at it before we judge.

Solid point. All about the details

Polian rated him as an A, and Whitner a B-. He is just as good in run support and way better in coverage than Whitner.

At least we do not have to use a high pick on a SS now.

We upgraded our pass coverage. I like the move.

What the F. We are plucking from a terrible Indy defense and planting him into a starting role? Do we want to lose?

Antoine Bethea hasn't missed a game since 2007. People like you guys who post uninformed libel should seriously lose their talking privileges for the day.

This guy is a thumper. He has a couple of hits that lead to fumbles. Clearly has more range then Whitner. 26 mil over 4 yrs is a great price because this guy is going to thrive in Fangios system.

Whitner wanted to go home to Cleveland.
