JBURGE Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 I'd pay Justin Houston without hesitation over Zadarius and Preston. Likely similar cost for fewer years Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Likely similar cost for fewer years We're in a good spot to be well informed on both Houston and Ford. Our new linebackers coach, Mike Smith, surely know each player very well.

Arthur Penske Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 Hopefully the supply and demand bring down the Safety market. But it sure sounds like it’s not cheap right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it sure sounds like it’s not cheap right now. Pay the safeties, draft the edge guys. Steep for a S gets you Earl, Honey Badger or Landon Collins (all All Pros at some point I believe) and you're probably in the 12m range. Steep at EDGE is probably going to be 3-5m more per year and nets you Preston Smith. Choice seems obvious. Drive that S market Gutey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leader Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 And its a deep EDGE class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’d comp both as players to Perry (solid production, 1 top 20 season). He got 11.8 a year 2 years ago. The caps had gone up 21 million since then (12.5%), so using Perry as a baramoter, 13-15 a year is probably the right range. Yeah, Perry is literally why you don't make those signings. You should not contribute that much of your cap to a player who has shown that little in their career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fistfullofbeer Posted March 6, 2019 Share Posted March 6, 2019 My dream scenario is that we land Hockenson as the 12th pick and trade our 30th pick for AB. Having Hockenson takes pressure of Graham and good luck double-teaming both Brown and Adams. Its a risky move to go all offense in the 1st round but I think you pickup DE's in the 2nd round and on and add safety help combined from the draft and FA's. We have too many holes to fill on D to make us a great defense but getting AB and Hockenson would make us a great offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Insulting me, seems like a productive response. But just to clarify, there is no team in the NFL I hate more than the Bears. And the Seahawks (local team).

We have too many holes to fill on D to make us a great defense but getting AB and Hockenson would make us a great offense. Dream? If we're doing either of those things (Drafting Hock at 12 or trading #30 for AB) we're gonna have to be ultra active in UFA (Which Brown kind of limits) and/ or use that other first round pick on defense. I'm all about us not continuing to ignore the offense via the top end draft prospects but there are too many holes on this team to treat the defense like our bone headed front office has treated the offense over the last 4 years (ie using low end draft prospects or drafted free agents as the only talent influx).

While I think everyone would be excited to get Thomas. It would probably be smarter to pay Boston 5-6 million a year and another safety 3-4 Million a year; add Josh Jones plus a mid-round safety like Armani Hooker and I would feel pretty good about our safety position.
