9 year veteran CB Antonio Cromartie has been one of the more consistently good CB's over the past decade. Starting with being a first round pick of the San Diego Chargers in 2006, then stops with the New York Jets and the Arizona Cardinals, Cromartie is coming off three straight Pro Bowl seasons. That is why I would like to see the Seahawks go after him in free agency. At 6'2 210 lbs, Cromartie would give the Seahawks the size opposite of Richard Sherman to keep opposing teams from attacking the 2nd CB like they did this year.
Last offseason Antonio Cromartie was released by the Jets (who were over the cap) and signed a one year, 3.5 million dollar deal with Arizona. He has stated on record he wants to return to New York to reunite with both the Jets and his now former Defensive Coordinator in Arizona now Head Coach with the Jets Todd Bowles. But the Jets are headed toward a youth movement and they are looking at locking up younger players to long term contracts. Where as the Seahawks are a team in "win now" mode. Cromartie could be a cheaper, short term answer at #2 CB than Byron Maxwell until they draft and develop a younger, cheaper, long term answer at that position.
