Pick an edge rusher


Verge

Recommended Posts

Chris Long, DE, 30 

Mario Williams, DE, 31

Jason Pierre Paul, DE, 27

Robert Ayers Jr., DE, 30

Kevin Dodd, DE, 23

 

I feel like one way or another, we end up with one of these dudes, which one would you all prefer? I feel like Ayers is the most sensible as he matches the scheme and has just as much value as any of the others, though Chris Long would seem to fill that Jared Allen spot. 

 

What say you?

A lot depends on what happens with CJ...  but, my guess is that we'll double dip.  Sign a free agent AND target a DE in the draft.  I mean we're all thinking CJ is getting past his prime (at least in terms of speedy pass rushing) as he hits 30, not sure we want to sign a mega deal with ANOTHER 30 year old DE..., but certainly if CJ leaves, we need a vet who is a proven starter in addition to whomever we might draft.

We need another vet, pure and simple, regardless of what happens with CJ.  BPA in the draft, if it's DE, fine, if not, fine.

My order of vets, based on what I think they will cost AND how I think they will produce/fit in.  Bang for buck if you will.  With an added sprinkle of how much it will hinder/piss off the competition.

Hardy>Hayes>Williams>Ayers>Vernon>Long>JPP.  

Sorry I don't want someone trying to play at the highest level full time without a functioning hand due to their own stupidity.

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
