I don't know enough about scheme, scheme-fit, Schwartz' scheme-preferences, etc. However, to my eye it looked last year as if we had a slew of SS-types and no FS-types. SS ---> Delpit, JJ3, Harrison, Bell (& I'd throw JOK at that description as well.)

We might be able to get multiple guys for the JJ3 money we could save with a June 1st cut.


Only way I see them getting rid of JJIII and creating a hole to relieve some cap space is if they are able to sign an actually free safety like Jessie Bates. Let Delpit be the box safety in Schwartz defense. Bates is only 26 as well.

If Berry can't work out a deal for an obvious upgrade with a guy like Bates or even Jordan Poyer, I think they keep JJIII. Would be great to see them land Bates.
