100 year old vet you are too loyal too cause he was awesome sauce in your previous gig and if he starts to fail hesitance to stick his ass on the bench or cut him.

See Frank Gore

I don't mind bringing in an older vet to help get the new defensive system running smooth. He'll be part player part coach.

Maybe he can play safety. Also, he can help teach the young guys how to play zone. Sign him up as the DBs coach.

They realize they can’t draft OL, pass rusher and cb with the late 1st and early 2nd rounder so this says cb may be the lowest priority of the 3.

It does? The only thing it's telling me is that Saleh is not satisfied with the CB corps the team has entering the draft, despite claims that this group is just fine because they're just playing zone. 

The problem with signing someone like Sherman is if he's not a huge hit he's a huge fail. He's going to keep younger guys on the bench, even if they might've been good enough to start, and - as @Beerfish points out - he's going to be nearly impossible to bench if Saleh pushes hard for his GM to go pick him up. It'll be like Bowles/Cromartie, or that's the concern, and it's a legit one at that. Oh, and it's a dead-end signing. 

If he's there to mentor then pay him $15MM off the salary cap to be the secondary coach for all I care. 

He's 33. That's not 36, but it's not 30 either, and he isn't exactly coming off a career year or getting better at this stage either. The hope is he isn't much worse. He's had a great career, but imo see who's there in the draft before pre-benching someone who might have an actual future here.

Fine make him the secondary coach, the guy also has a personality in which he will not go silently into the night if things go wrong.
