They just aren't addressing Safety. It's truly odd.
I'm wondering if they are going to come over the top on an STL offer for Atogwe or have something already worked out for Sharper?

i doubt you can still make offers to RFAs.

My guess is that they are willing to wait until after June first for Atogwe to be released.

They must have SOME plan... apparently it wasn't the players available in the first few rounds of the draft. There's no way they throw out last year's starter Wilson like yesterday's garbage (who indeed played like garbage heh), without a plan at this point of who has legitimate potential to fill that critical starting spot. Could be Culver or Clemens (I like Culver), or indeed Atogwe or Sharper. Can you imagine picking up Karlos Dansby, Brandon Marshall, and Darren Sharper in the same offseason?!

I like Atogwe, but I'm just not sure what direction they are going with the FS position. None of us have much confidence in Culver/Clemons, but perhaps they do ?? Sharper, who would be a great pickup if only for a year, seems to be waiting on the Saints (and his injury) to re-sign with them.
I guess there will be a lot of second guessing and reading into Irelands end of the draft PC... -
He was non tendered though. He's going to be FA on June 1st i think.
-
Reshad Jones from Georgia was just selected. Come on they should sign Sharper for one year and Reshad should back him up and learn.

Another point of reference is that St. Louis hasn't picked a safety either (through 6 rounds). So, it would seem that they don't anticipate losing Atogwe. You'd think that if they anticipated losing him, they would strongly consider picking up a safety. So far they haven't.
