If McCoy does NOT sign....

Who do you extend instead, Shaq or Bradberry?

I think Shaq will get extended either way. His cap hit is too high. Unless they plan on letting him walk. I would wrap him up before a possible big year. 

[Car123]

Shaq ain't getting extended unless he proves he can be a good starter.

We will have plenty of cap money going into 2020, so it shouldn't be an issue.

I dont see Shaq getting extended to be honest.

Id probaly work on Bradberry.  He has been solid but not elite.  If we can get a reasonable deal done, do it.  If not and he has a Norman esq contract year, we will be drafting a CB high next year.

[Khyber53]

They'll both get extended before the end of the season, Shaq probably before the season.

Shaq will have a breakout season this year, he's done well in what they've asked of him and he'll be moving to MLB/S during the 3-4 part of our defense and will be the Sam linebacker during 4-3. If we're really going to run a hybrid system, he's just the guy you need there and he is going to be a big part of the continuity. His youth and lack of injuries doesn't hurt, either.

Bradberry will have a chance to really prove himself this season and I think we're looking at middle to upper pack salaries if he maintains his play. If he has a Normanesque boom, then he'll be able to argue for a seriously top tier salary. Unlike Norman, Bradberry has been a steady, reliable starter throughout his tenure here. He'll make the bucks and it won't be risky.

Shaq or James Anderson: who’d you take if you had to pick one OLB

Sign a free safety and extend Bradberry

My boy made a comparison I can get behind.

Each 5M?

If McCoy doesnt sign though.  We need to continue on to press to find another interior DL.

It lools like we will have majority 3-4 base.  And right now we have 2 starting calibre guys (unless your plan is to start Butler as well then have no backups other than Love)

[Growl]

Frankly they've both been pretty pedestrian and I'd imagine  they're banking on themselves and a good season for a big contract,  which I'd be hesitant to give them after one finally decent season.

I would turn my focus back to Alan bailey. 

[MHS831]

the more I think about it, the more i think we will pay a high price for McCoy--$30-33m over 3 years.  We can't let him walk.  With McCoy and his 7 sacks, we can get away with Gaulden or an average S.
