We have traded CB Ross Cockrell to the Giants in exchange for a conditional pick in the 2018 NFL Draft.

I mean we get Haden from the Brownies and give them Coates... we get sensabugh from the giants and give them Cockrell... almost like a trade for need and scheme fit
 
Well I thought he was nice depth, now we have sens , gay and injured Sutton, whom I hope doesn't become the new golson

Really? Yeah Baby!
 
Steelers send starting CB Cockrell to Giants

Giants acquired CB Ross Cockrell from the Steelers in exchange for an undisclosed 2018 draft pick.

Cockrell was one of 14 corners to play over 1,000 defensive snaps last season. He was Pro Football Focus' No. 29 cover corner out of 119 qualifiers and was tendered at the fourth-round level as a restricted free agent in March.

With the addition of Joe Haden in Pittsburgh, the Steelers deemed Cockrell expendable. In New York, Cockrell will be needed depth behind Janoris Jenkins, Dominique Rodgers-Cromartie, and sophomore Eli Apple.

I would have bounced Gay and kept the **** - young vs. old legs

Typical Steelers move, like holding onto Ike till he was 50, I should have known

Yeah but Ike was still lanky and had reach.
Sure he lost a step, but his length kept him around.

**** was getting beat *snicker*
Gay --- probably around for "leadership"
 
Cockrell had a nice start when he came to the Steelers, but being thrust into a starting role was too much. It was time to move on and I'm glad the Steelers got something for him.

He had a very solid 2015 season.
Hard to think how much he's regressed. I had high hopes for the guy
 
Another move that was on the wall when we picked up Hayden. **** was demoted, and having Hayen, who does everything **** does, but better, squeezed him off the roster.

It's pretty sad that the Giants are picking up our DB retreads. Have they seen our pass D the last few years??

It's also sad since they are sloppy thirds and fourths via Jacksonville and Buffalo...
 
**** already shot his wad. Time to move on....haha


...no more **** jokes now

it was a image of life that is all too familiar with many of people

**** started off strong confident

but over the course of time, **** started not performing well

and bang boom bam a marriage breakup

now **** will take up new residence

where the hope is for a long relationship

:playball:
 
My only issue is that I find it hard to come up with more than two corners on the roster that I know are better.
 
So, we grab a question mark with Haden and then gut the rest of our secondary and we keep Gay. We have probably worse depth now. Sutton hasn't practiced much and is injured for the 2nd or 3rd time already. Just don't understand getting rid of Cockrell here for nothing in return, especially when Sutton may not even play this year and Gay sucks.

Ross Cockrell trade listed by NFL as:

Selection Choice--Round 7, 2018 (Conditional)


I am thinking it will be a 7th but with a possibility of a 6th dependent on playing time.

I see Blake was cut there, looks like Cockrell might have been his undoing.
