You made a trade today. Was it the same with CB Kenneth Acker that, give him an opportunity now because of the competition there at the cornerback position and how things were stacking out?
“Yeah that’s exactly it. And our goal is for everybody to make our team, but there’s honestly 37 guys that are in that 90 aren’t because we’re only going to be able to keep 53. So, our second goal for them is if they’re not going to make our team, we want you to make another team in this league and if we can assist you in any way, we will. There was some interest in Ack. We feel like we’ve got some depth at the cornerback position and felt like it was a positive for him. It gives him an opportunity to go to Kansas City and play for [Kansas City Chiefs head coach] coach [Andy] Reid and [Kansas City Chiefs defensive coordinator] coach [Bob] Sutton and we get a draft pick in exchange for it. So, happy for him. Ack was great here. Loved coaching him. But, I look at it as a positive for him.”
