Superduperman Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 this is right on the balance of where i would have signed him vs. letting him go, money-wise. let's see the structure of the deal, and what his number is for each of these years.

Millenhater Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 3 year deal makes it a worthy gamble. All comes down the the contract structure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sllim Pickens Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I'm not overly excited about this. 10 was about the max I would have wanted him for. I am guessing he wanted to stick around and play with his brother which makes sense. But not sure he is what we need. I am guessing we don't go with an edge rusher early in the draft now.

You can never have too many pass rushers. I don't think it stops us at all honestly. Even though i think we need to sit back and collect comp picks I also would be totally fine if they signed say Ngakoue. Just roll him, Okwaras and Flowers through our line and attack the passer. It would be a welcome change to prioritize the pass rush. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lions017 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Sounds like there are some incentives involved? I'm OK with this. I still think that we won't do many big moves, but you do need to field a team out there. You need veterans who can play so that your rookies aren't forced into action before they're ready. Okwara is still young enough that maybe we're able to content in the last year of this deal and he can still help out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's ok with me because the edge rusher class in this draft isn't great Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I still hope we grab one in the mid rounds to develop but I wouldnt trust many or any of these guys to start right away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SimbaWho Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 Don't hate it. Still can draft anyone you want. It's short, so, even if you hate him or the deal none it will be for long. Essentially can cut him in 2 years if you find his replacement by then. Till then they might have over paid slightly for a decent starter/pass rusher.

TL-TwoWinsAway Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 This also helps Julian Okwara, which I don't think should be overlooked. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's still only 25, so maybe he did grow as a player, but I'm wary of big contract year production after not doing anything. I would have liked to see him leave TBH.

Only because it means someone else can't sign him to a big deal, but it doesn't count as signing a new FA from another team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
