Free agent DT Gerald McCoy is visiting the #Panthers, beginning tomorrow night, source said. That will go into Friday, then he’ll presumably make a decision. It did sound like his visit to the #Ravens was excellent. So it’s #Ravens, #Browns or #Panthers.

3:58 PM - 29 May 2019

Let’s get it Hurn-dawg!!!!

I doubt he'd even be coming unless there had been at least some preliminary contract talks. We have to at least be in the ballpark.

He’s visited two teams and left and is clearly in no hurry to sign. He may leave us and visit other teams as well. I agree this means we’re in play over teams without visits so far like the Aints and Pats but him visiting here doesn’t mean we’re the favorites to sign him. May just be due diligence. May depend on how badly he wants to play the Bucs twice.

We need another 5 tech for our 3-4. If that is indeed where we are leaning.  Poe at NT and short is the one 5 tech.  I think Love is a good rotational guy.  But not sure about him starting there.  I think Butler is just trash but he may prove me wrong in a contract year.  

I still think either McCoy or Bailey will be signed.  Our team values the front 7 much more than FS. My gut tells me Bailey is the guy.  For the right price I wouldn’t rule out McCoy.  But I think we will be outbid by someone.

For some reason, everyone wants to plug Butler in as a DE in a 3-4, but IMO he's Poe's backup at NT. I too think he's pretty much trash, but I think he's better suited at the nose than he is at DE. I think we drafted him to be a three technique, but he just doesn't have the athleticism.

  I would seriously try to trade him to the Raiders for Karl Joseph. Both have little value and need a change of scenery. Even if he’s a backup, Joseph would at least provide an option at FS not named Jones.

I'd probably hang onto him and give him a look at NT first. I mean, if he's not the backup NT, then who is? I don't think Love can hold that spot down. I don't think Love really has a spot in a 3-4 look, I think he was re-signed as a situational player.

I just don’t think Butler has the “heart” to take on double-teams. No matter the scheme or situation. Maybe his light goes on with a contract ahead(maybe). To the point I’d rather just watch someone else suck.

I mean, if we could get something (like pretty much anything) for him, I wouldn't be at all opposed to trading him.

One of the things they highlighted about Butler when he was drafted was his motor. Maybe your right and he can show some of that as a NT. Him and Poe are of similar size at 6'4/6'3 330/346 lbs with Butler the former and Poe the latter.

our 2013 entire secondary were turds, but held it together for a top defense due to the insane pressure put on the QB

I know everyone is saying we don't need another DT, but consider we have no intention of extending Butler and if Poe is still dead weight this season he can be cut with some cap savings.  Then we are back to KK and McCoy.  We would only be heavy this season.
