MKnight82 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Its likely we select Chase Young in the upcoming draft, and we just took Sweat. Kerrigan will be 32 years old at the start of next season. He only has 1 year remaining on his contract, with a pretty reasonable $11.7 mil cap price. He has 90 career sacks, which is just shy of the team record (91 officially for Dexter Manley, he had 97.5 sacks but 6.5 were with Tampa). Now the math there is a little fuzzy because it doesn't include the 6 sacks in his rookie season (they didn't count sacks then) so its really more like 97 sacks is the team record. Either way, Kerrigan is easily within reach next year for the team record. I think we should bring him back for another season. We can always re-evaluate what to do with him near the trade deadline midseason. Extending him doesn't make a lot of sense, and neither does shopping him this offseason either IMO. You can never have too many pass rushers. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
naptownskinsfan Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 You can never have too many pass rushers for sure. I think it depends on whoever the coach and new people in the front office are. If they value getting back some draft pick capital to replace the lost second round pick, Kerrigan goes. If they value his veteran influence, officially setting that record, etc, then he stays. It is too early for me to make an informed decision at this point.

turtle28 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 We should cut him. What Dan Snyder will do is give him a contract extension. If we draft Chase Young, Kerrigan would be a back up or a pitty starter and he won’t play special teams. He’s a waste of cap space. He should be cut, but Dan will care more about having Kerrigan end his career as a Redskins from the time he was drafted until when he retires and he’ll be retained.

ARTMONK HOF Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 (edited) I guess whoever the DC is and what kind of scheme they run and see if he fits. Take it from there. Just realized if Rivera is definitely the coach, his old DC/Steve Wills might be available since Kitchens was just fired. Dont know how that fits for Kerrigan.

Skins212689 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Trade Block. He's any other teams for a 2nd round pick. Love you Kerrigan and thank you for your services but if I can get younger with letting you go I'm doing that. Ravens did it to Suggs and look where they are.

At 32, with only 1 year left on his deal, I don't think Kerrigan can net a 2nd round pick. Especially because he got banged up this year. I agree with it being too early to decide now though. I think they should make a decision at the trade deadline next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtle28 Posted December 30, 2019 Share Posted December 30, 2019 Trade deadline? And carry $11.7 million in cap space for a guy who’s not a good run defender, was always a hustle pass rusher w/o a quick first step or a lot of moves and is coming off an injury? There’s no way they should carry him on their salary cap next year, none at all. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry, I wasn't saying he's worth a second round pick. I mean that they will look to trade him to pick up some draft capital to replace it with. I've always undershot everyone's expectations on trades here too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MKnight may have been talking about Skins212689’s thought that Kerrigan is still worth a 2nd. I’m not sure that’s true anymore especially bc he’s coming off a few injuries this year and a down year.

Anderson & Sweat are not 4-3 OLbs, they are 4-3 DEs. People complain about them having to cover a little bit as 3-4 OLBs, as 4-3 OLBs, they’d be in coverage 60 to 70% of the game depending on who they play that week. If they don’t make upgrades to the LB corps then their 4-3 LBs will look like this: SLB: Holcomb, Foster? Anderson as a reserve? DE/SLB? I don’t know TBH MLB: Bostic, Foster? WLB: SDH, JLC Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
