Devilshark69 Posted August 17, 2022 Share Posted August 17, 2022 Imo, it’s highly unlikely. Once people know we’re shopping him? It’s gonna be someone offering a 7th to have first crack.....or teams will wait it out. Either way, it would be nice to have him practicing and playing. Drake definitely has talent, nfl proven talent, can’t argue that at all. I’m just curious why no move for suh? We’ll screw around and lose the chance to sign him..... the need is as obvious as a nose on a face. Surely he has one more decent year in him, who knows, maybe playing for the silver and black rejuvenates him slightly. Lol! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we have to suck up $9.9m for Ferrell and/or $8m for Drake we won’t have enough for Suh? Edited August 17, 2022 by Dessie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's clearly not going to start for us despite a huge cap burden. Someone needs some body on the Dline. Do you think anyone would pick up Ferrell on that contract ? This is the question. I think someone would take a chance on him as a solid run stopping DE and maybe part with a 6th round pick but that salary cap hit is quite prohibitive.

Maybe in season we can get someone to bite when the price has dropped but it’s doubtful just because it’s so much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think someone would and they would only take on $4.771 million. We would still have the cap hit from the signing bonus. At under $5 million I think plenty of teams would pull the trigger. Drake would only cost another team $2.5 million which is good for him. We would save a little over $7 million and hopefully get a couple mid round picks back. Not sure what Suh would want but that should get us pretty close. Good deal if we see both those guys as not providing much for the team this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly, ferrells case is even more complicated because he’s injured and hasn’t practiced or played yet. Hard to even try to gauge value there, at least drakes a known commodity. Stating the obvious here, but not only do we need solid o-line play....but if we can’t stop the opponents run game it won’t matter how explosive our offense is. Best way to stop an explosive O? Keep em off the field. We’ll see how it goes this next 2 weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Judging by his history, the other LBs must be looking good because he's a solid player. Crazy we signed Young, Brown, Kiser, and Fackrell and only Brown remains for week 1.

Yet another embarrassingly bad FA signing by the previous regime given how much they paid him too 😂 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gruden school of business at work right there 😂 Id be surprised if we got much for him after the last couple outings. It’s still very early for him of course but he looks like a total bust out there sadly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's only 23 years old and he's just a huge and fast guy. It's all technique with him and if what I read is true he keeps his hands to low. That's all, no footwork problems that can be fixed.
