FA CB signing Pierre grade
#1
Instant Grade: B+
James Pierre


This feels like a solid, sensible addition for the Vikings at a position of need. Pierre is coming off his best NFL season and remains in his prime as approaches 30 years old. It's a two-year deal but with less than $4 million in guarantees, it can function more like a true one-year contract. The price is very reasonable for a player who has plenty of experience and can also contribute on special teams.

For the time being, Pierre slots in as CB3 on the Vikings' depth chart behind Murphy and Rodgers. They won't be done adding at that position, as the only other corners on the roster right now are recent UDFAs Dwight McGlothern and Zemaiah Vaughn. Fabian Moreau and Jeff Okudah are unrestricted free agents.

I like it. It reminds me a lot of the Isaiah Rodgers signing last year. Similar age, similar role, similar contract, similar under the radar CB with very good PFF grades in limited starts.
