Yes, I'm sure that he would get along swimmingly with our defensive personnel.

 

Him and Cam would score so many points who cares.

Personally what I would do is

Cut CJ. 

Tag Norman to the fully locked up tag so no one can pick him up.

Sign Weddle to a 3 or 4 year deal. Get him locked up for his career.

Draft a DE like Calhoun or Dobbs.

Draft Gronk from KSU to replace Tolbert next year

Sign Tolbert to a 1 year. 2M$ deal.

Extend Kalil to 3 or 4 years so he is locked up til he retires. 

Sign depth at DE and Oline.

Note: Sign KK to a 5 or 6 year deal next year along with Norman who should get a 3/4 year deal with 13-16 mil a year depending on his performance NEXT YEAR. See if he can be a consistant performer or if he is a one hit wonder.

Stewart and Kalil.

Although both of them can at least play at a high level.

Look for Kalil to be extended this offseason.

I guess you could add Stewy to that small list of Hurneys'. CJ, Kalil, and Stew are the only ones left. Still not out of the woods yet. But we are getting closer to an end of the era.

CJ isn't worth $11M to this team. We could undoubtedly sign someone better for the money.

Cursed on Hurney no doubt but I say cut the ties.  His production isn't worth the money we would be paying him.   I realize he is good against the run but IMO his sacks are declining in a hurry and we can find better, younger.

I see that point clearly, and I am torn on what the smart thing would be--he is only 30, but he has been injury prone lately and he has been in the league for a decade--that is a lot of football.  He showed a few flashes in the playoffs--but, yeah, he may be done.  Would he be better than a rookie?

That is the question.  Most rookies take time to develop.  The only other option is free agency.  Could we bring in a DE with the money we save?  Lotta options.

I would understand any move, but to reduce his role and his salary to about $6m per might be the smart thing to do, albeit a gamble--so would cutting him.

Exactly.

Not sure why everyone is so quick to want to get rid of CJ. Everyone convientally forgot he had a sack in every playoff game. I'd much rather have him take a cut and extend him a year or two. I really don't want to see a rookie starting opposite of Kony and I doubt we invest in a pricey FA DT.

Another guy I think we're going to cut soon is 35 year old Dwan Edwards. He was outplayed by Kyle Love and we can save $1.6 million by cutting his ass.

That's great and all but Hayes is now 30. He's gonna want one more big contract (at least another 3 years).

I'm sure the idea of playing for a contender and in his home state has to be appealing to take a paycut for.
