I'd rather draft a rookie than pay $5m to someone who average 2.5 sacks over the last 2 years.  Dumb move

We're going to do that too..... There are spots open my man.

Remember when we were glad Roman Harper left because he "was a weak link?"

I can tell you leadership and veteran presence goes a long way.

Holy crap why are so many people upset with this? Please find a free agent with his run stopping ability/QB hurries for less than 5 million per year.

QB hurries?  He has 5 sacks over 2 years as a starter... please

Name your DE who will be more of an impact this year than CJ in the FA market. Seriously, name me one.

We're still drafting DEs in this deep draft, so what the heck is your point?

Oh wait, you don't have one.

We can still draft a rook and have CJ for depth and leadership. Take pff for what it's worth, but they were high on him for limited play. I get what you are saying though.

That was two years ago dude.  This is 2017 now.  Changes have to be made.  

Changes are usually made in Free Agency and the Draft - which haven't happened yet. 

Looks like we might be targeting replacements at LT, FB, WR, and hopefully S.  My guess is we'll grab decent value in FA at LT, S, and maybe Cruz in the slot.  Then we'll kill the draft  - 3-4 really solid contributors and a stud at 8.

We replaced Harper with a guy who couldn't read defense and was out of position most times

Like I said to Arsen....go check out the list and get back to us. It's slim picking over there bro. Especially at ~$4

People stated the same thing last year.  At what point do we move on?  And finally get better young talent to groom at that position?  

[Cary Kollins]

Wait wait wait

 

he said he bleeds black and blue "until I retire"...

 

is Charles Johnson hinting at switching allegances once he retires?? 

 

Big if true

Jesus we haven't had the draft yet. Wait for that before complaining about "not getting young talent."

CJ's signing doesn't impact whether we draft a young DE or not. It's an area of weakness. We have to get better and younger. But we also have to have a rotation for next season.
