Maiocco seems convinced he'll be competing to be the starting nickel. 71 percent of Green's defensive snaps over the last 2 seasons came lined up out wide.

No way he's the slot CB, IMO he'll battle with Yiadom, & Ya-Sin for the outside CB opposite of Mooney. DMo needs to stay as the NB/Slot CB IMO, he's getting better, plus maybe it'll help to retain him as a FA, slot Corners don't get near what outside CBs do, hoping to god we can extend both Mooney & DMo long term, that $18m coming in June will help when they carry it over to 2025, makes them fit Brock, BA, Mooney, Deebo, p,us keep either DMo or Dre, plus Ward is set to count $12.2m in dead money in 2025 due to void yrs, hoping they do something soon, where they can get his '25 cap number near or little under the $12m, plus save cap room this year, BA extension saves up to $8m.
The starting nickel doesn't necessarily mean the slot CB. It moreso means he comes on the field when we are in the Nickel formation.
Agree with AB, he'll be competing with Yiadom for the outside CB spot in Nickel formations
