Multiple defensive backs, including starters Noah Igbinoghene and Jeremy Chinn, are set to be free agents once the new league year begins in March. Should any or even all of them decide to leave, then Quinn has to know which pieces best fit.

Mike Sainristil proved himself a revelation as a rookie, starting all but one game and nabbing six interceptions, two of them returned for a touchdown. Marshon Lattimore is a veteran leader with playoff experience who can maintain the winning mentality, and free safeties Percy Butler and Quan Martin could share the field for the first time in their careers.
