Love watching him play, always gives 100%

Epic addition to the team. I will give Hurney props for that move.

Definitely crossed my mind as well. Wondering if he provides the leadership spark on the DL that was needed to motivate him.

It’s quite possible. But it’s more likely to do with the scheme. Plus Vern knows he’s gotta make plays to get that pay day soon.

Both those are possibilities as well. Likely it’s a combination of the 3.

He's in "one year, bet you can't do it again" contract mode now.

Even if he continues to ball out I really hope we don’t re-sign him unless it is a really cheap deal. I absolutely don’t trust him to continue a high level of play once he gets paid. Let someone else pay him $10M/year.

I don’t trust Hurney to let him go so it’s a big concern.

I don't know what the market value of a 5th year guy who had 3 down seasons and 1 decent season looks like. I'd assume we keep him around, as long as he wants to stay, for relatively cheap. Do it again, you re-sign him to a deal and let Short walk.

Sure if we can get him for like $4-5M/year then bring him back but there is an enormous need in the NFL for interior DL who can get to the passer. If he finishes with 8+ sacks which he is on pace for then I have hard time not seeing someone gamble and offer him a big money deal in the hope that he can continue that. The amount of available cap space projected for next year across the NFL is pretty staggering.

Well that's on them. It's a puzzle and right now he fits in. We've seen what he's like when he's a puzzle piece that doesn't fit in.

Is the projected cap space because the cap is expected to rise by a lot or just a lot of big deals expire?

On Vernon it's simply ''playing time'', always had the tools, never had the reps. Secondly, we have GUYS real legit GUYS  that the offensive line has to account for; I feel bad KK is missing out on this. The edge guys are forcing the QB's to step up and the interior guys have been there with the push / finish seemingly since Week 3, we had flashes early, but it's been consistent since Week 3.
