Can’t fix soft. 

Dude is soft

But im really curious to what he'd look in a 3-4.

 

Like everyone who had concerns with Burns in a 4-3.  Vic is super light as a DE (plus no where tall and long as Burns).  Dudes only listed 8 pounds heavier than Luke

 

But he's a great athlete and most of his success when they limed him wide and git to use that athletic ability

Yeah, you can't convince me that there aren't at least situational uses for Beasley's talents.

This

Dude is a great athlete.  Has shown flashes when lined wide in space where he can be a mismatch

 

People here were scared sh!tless of Burns size if we stuck to a 4-3

Burns was 6'5 249 at the combine 

 

Vic Beasley is playing that 4-3 DE was and is 6'3  246

Maybe, but at 12.8m he will be near impossible to move

Pretty sure that $12.8M would be prorated so really $7.2M.

[Mr. Scot]

Or wait till he's cut and pay him even less.

Pretty sure his 5th year option became fully guaranteed at the beginning of the season, so there's no cap savings by cutting him. They'd still carry his full figure as dead space.

I'm not necessarily talking about this year.

Well, he'll be a free agent after this season so he won't have to be cut to be available.

There are several good to decent teams that are really struggling in the pass rush department. Seattle, Oakland, Detroit, Indy, Philly, Houston. It will surprise me if someone doesn't pony up a late round pick to kick the tires on him and see if he can help them out.

I probably should have said "once he's let go".

And yeah, I could see somebody giving him a shot. I just don't think he'll be worth it.

Probably not. Most reclamation projects ultimately fail to own out.

This also speaks to the Pats' mentality. Here they are 7-0 coming off of a 33-0 MNF win but they're not trying to rest on their laurels. They know they have weaknesses like any team and they're aggressively making moves to address them.

This. I’m praying this staff does something similar 

[ncfan]

Yeesh

They truely have fire sale going

Word is they are shopping Trufant and Alex Mack as well

[Cpt slay a ho]

Damn Mack and trufanr would have been some good pieces to add just a season ago
