I wasn't sold on his signing when it was announced, but he changed my mind with his play. The guy is an asset moving forward. Having Gainey and Cox back for a while solidifies the secondary.

Another very good move by Mr Jones, Mr Murphy. Long term team pieces falling in place according to the plan, astute signing.
