There were options for them at DT, largely related to having depth and a good young reserve like Settle at the position — specifically, trading Payne or trading/cutting Ioannidis to free up financial resources and to potentially bring back some draft assets to recoup what they gave up for Wentz. Especially because I don’t see how you can justify paying Payne after you paid Allen and hope to pay Sweat/Young down the road. But instead, as usual, it’s the straight-line approach. Nothing to rock the boat or shake things up. Nothing to get ahead of an impending problem (the DL salary crunch) and try to solve it a year early instead of a year late. Just the typical approach of waiting until they’re absolutely forced to make a decision, and then being disappointed to see that their hands are tied. Just like with Scherff. It’s just a very .500 approach. Tim Settle was our 4th DT on the roster, I mean the dude played less than 19% of defensive snaps last season. Signing him to an extension would have been wasted cap space, we can easily replace him with a late round draft pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Want to protect our new QB 😀 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thaiphoon Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 So far we have a 3rd (Scherff) and a 7th (Settle) coming to us. https://overthecap.com/compensatory-picks/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Sims if someone likes his potential, or Carter if people need a ST player and we see these WR contracts going out. I think Carter and McCain are back. And I assume we will offset one or two.

Wagner is exactly the type of player this defense needs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slappy Mc Posted March 15, 2022 Share Posted March 15, 2022 Also, targeting players released by their teams would be a smart strategy as they dont count against the comp pick forumla. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ARTMONK HOF Posted March 15, 2022 Author Share Posted March 15, 2022 Myles Jack average salary is 14m. Don’t think he’s coming here. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
