[top dawg]

According to 247 Sports,  interest in Star has been reported by Tony Pauline. 

"If the Carolina Panthers don’t re-sign Star Lotulelei, the Houston Texans and Kansas City Chiefs are potential landing spots, as both teams have shown interest," Pauline reported Saturday.

I can't  find anything more,  but it's early still.

Star is gone even if we offer him a deal.

Yep, Star just isn't an east coast guy. He never seemed happy here.

Oh well, wish him well.

why ?

Both 3-4 defenses. If he can play like he did in 15-16 he can be an excellent NT.

Wish him the best.

That was exactly what I thought when I saw the interested parties.  His strength makes him a perfect candidate for a 3-4 NT.  Good luck to Star, But I don't see him getting paid his worth here.

Yep, I think he has more value to a 3-4 team than he does a 4-3. He's a pure space eater. That's what a 3-4 NT does. I try not to look at stats for 4-3 one techniques, but Star just doesn't make enough plays on the football for a 4-3 DT. He had 34 tackles as a rookie. He's had 33 in his last three seasons combined.

Yeah, Star is really great at holding his spot, not so much last season but I digress.

Star is not a penatrator. On the off chance he does he doesn't really have the ability to chase things down. Butler isn't as much of a space eater, but he can make plays in the back field consistently enough to justify starting. Love can take Star's role for much cheaper, and I'd say he's a better pass rusher than Star too.

People are going to be surprised how much we are going to miss star next year.

I do believe can get back to his Utah level of awesome in a 3-4.  The Chiefs are a team I thought would be a good fit for him, I can see that working out.

If you can signed him to a reasonable deal then I’m all for keeping Star. But I’m not sure if we can pay him 4yrs 40 Million. We just have to do the job of trying to replace him as a unit and not depend on one person to eat space. 

[luke nukem]

gunna miss my star :(

[The Huddler]

Hurts me

i was so stoked when we got him. One of my favorite players. 

 

And i know his worth to our defense which is a lot...

 

but considering our depth at that position and our limited $$$ rescources, its a parting we should take

 

plus Butler has a ton of potential to be really, really fuging good
