Given the year he had I'd be shocked if he doesn't get more than $1.5 million offered to him. He was one of the top DTs in the league for sacks. I can see a team giving him 4-5 million easy.

Garay is floating around and is a Rivera guy.

yep. wanted him last year.

[bigdog10]

His play last year earned him more than a 1 year deal. Unfortunately, we are in no position to offer him otherwise.

Anyone who thinks his play wasn't instrumental to the play of Johnson and Hardy is kidding themselves.

i think thats all we will be offering this year, 1year contracts just like we did when we were looking at OC. this is gettlemens free year. he's going to plug needs with cheap options, draft bpa for the future and wait to get rid of rivera and bring in his own personel.

Do yall think he was that good to get 6 sacks or was it cause of cj and hardy?

Yeah there just lining up at his door, if he was four years younger you would be right.

I have been very positive about this whole situation but I am starting to become worried. I just keep hearing; he can be replaced for a lot of players. I know were not talking about Key players here but damn I want Dwan back. I know there is a lot of time left, I'm just feeling worrisome.

It had a lot to do with QBs stepping right into him while trying to get away from CJ and Hardy.

I agree.

[Growl]

How long before Richardson throws a violent tantrum that results in Gettleman's termination because he realizes that he's going to have open up the checkbook for somebody?

MARTY WOULDN'T HAVE MADE ME DO THIS!!

[mjligon]

Well poo.

[SuperMan]

I agree.

I am hoping like hell we can get Star....


Think about this if there all healthy.


Davis-Keuchly-Beason
Hardy-(FA/Dwan)-Star-Johnson

[BigSyke]

replacable. but would have signed him back.

Same could be said for some of the sacks that CJ and Hardy got was due to Dwan's push up the middle.

It's a fools game to evaluate a defensive line on one or two players. You have to look at the whole line as a unit (think back to how mediocre Peppers looked late in his career here due to not having any help on the inside or other side).

Dwan gave us a piece up the middle that allowed Hardy and Johnson to get off the edge better, and vice versa, Hardy and Johnson's speed and power off the edge allowed Dwan to collect some sacks up the middle.

I'm in the camp that if Dwan is resigned, I think we are good on the line and drafting a DT should not be a huge need in this draft. A starting front four of CJ, Dwan (rotational tackle), and Hardy is plenty good enough to be one of the better lines in the league.
