LETSGOBROWNIES Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 DT was the one spot I think most folks would say we had a glaring need. That’s resolved now. I hope Dorsey lets the rest of the nonsense happen and gets back involved when there may be some deals to be had, but there’s no need to continue signing players to these deals.

NudeTayne Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 At this rate, next year will have about 20 third round compensatory picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buno67 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 wow that was a lot more money than I thought he would get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NateDawg Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 That’s a lot to commit but if he plays well, it’s a good and necessary signing. With 2-3 years committed there though, I think it definitely negates us homing in on DT in round 1 though, unless it’s an obvious BPA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing we have to worry about is the money only being there for no more than 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think that’s really the goal, eliminate need as a factor come draft day. BPA always. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shoffma1999 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Suddenly we have some really quality depth along the front four and a scary starting four. Myles G., Larry O., Richardson, and Vernon starting with Ogbah, Avery, Price, Coley, Thomas, and likely draft picks as depth and rotational guys? We are looking pretty solid. I like this move. Being perfectly honest, I think Myles and Larry will be a positive influence on Richardson as well, and he will thrive in a three technique role (where he likes to play). He will retain his aggression, but the fun that Myles and Larry display when they play, I think will be infectious to Richardson and Vernon as well.

Aztec Hammer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Does the money really matter much? Genuine question as I don’t know much about the cap etc. But I would’ve thought you could cut him after two years no problem. And until then, we’ve got a bunch of studs on rookie deals and we should just try to take advantage of that now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MWil23 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I can't help but make a few positive observations: 1. Hopefully we can walk away after 2020 with a minimal cap hit (that looks to be the case). 2. It definitely addresses a need. Even mediocre Sheldon is twice as good as anyone else we had. 3. We got better today. Baltimore and Pittsburgh have gotten worse. 4. Dorsey has set us up for legit BPA at 17 without anymore "glaring holes" to address headed into the draft.

sdrawkcab321 Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 I understand that rushing the passer is important but that’s a lot of money for a DT who only does that. He’s pretty bad in run support which is what killed us last year. We better find a good run stopping OLB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aztec Hammer Posted March 12, 2019 Share Posted March 12, 2019 Adding Ed Oliver to this would be insane but I think this signing ensures we don’t have to hang our hat on it. Can just let the draft come to us. If Oliver is gone, go and get a great WR or something. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

True, our DT room is still bleh outside of Ogunjobi and Richardson, I think we still go hard to reshape that room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
