Yeah, it looks like its Camarillo for Benny Sapp.

Is Benny Sapp any good?

And you guys are getting a very solid WR in Camarillo, he has some of the best hands in the league, never drops passes. He has made several one hand circus catches in his career.

I think he was supposed to be our nickel corner.

He was okay. Made some nice plays along the line.

But should never be a starting, top two CB. Very aggressive, but tends to lead to stupid penalties. Nice depth to have at a reasonable price (which it seems like your Phins needed), and it opens up playing time for Asher Allen and Chris Cook on our end. Good deal for both sides.

Do you guys feel that confident about Hartline as the #3?

Hartline is a very polished reciver, the thing he can do well that camarillo couldn't is stretch the field

But he doesn’t have the hands Camarillo has, since Camarillo can catch a football while he’s sleeping.

Hartline is our #2.

For some reason, it seems to me that Camarillo is a Viking at heart.

don’t know why……..

I like the trade.

I liked Sapp…but let’s be real…he’s made a lot of boneheaded plays at CB since he’s been here. I know he didn’t try to, but he let his emotions get the better of him many times in the past.

I hope we get to see more of Chris Cook due to this deal b/c I think Cook has what it takes to be a true starting CB in this league…

Like someone else said “good deal for both sides.” We needed more depth @ WR right now…and we have enough CB depth at this moment.. I’m betting that Sapp woulda just been sitting on ST all year anyway.

I'm still a Minnesotan at heart...
