That's fine and even if they have a rotation.  We are just really thin at DE, especially out of a 4-3 formation.

Ok, that would take Addison switching to the backup role which is possible but not nearly a lock. For a low price that sounds great. I was expecting a free agent on a prove it deal to fill that role but if Addision wants it then that would be cool. Burns has too much skill and playability to be on special teams with some token snaps.

I like Super Mario. Every year he works his ass off & comes up with great stats. Definitely a true leader. Still not sure why he hasn't made the Pro Bowl yet.

As far as everyone else:

Let Irvin, Butler & Bradberry walk

Re-sign McCoy on 1-year deal & draft a DT 1st round

Jourdan Rodrigue reports Panthers are interested in bringing back Addison to a short, team-friendly deal. They are also preparing to let Gerald McCoy, Vernon Butler, Bruce Irvine walk. 

Yeah, I'm good with all of that.

With Cam back, we may not be as far away from contention as many think.

You need to look at this roster then.  Not even Elway could keep this roster right now competitive.

Keep Bruce Irvin! Smh

I see Mario heading up north to Buffalo. Beane was who signed him, and I'm pretty sure he'd like to have a veteran presence to fill their need on the edge.

No way that Butler comes back. He sealed his fate last season with that ridiculous cheap shot vs. Doyle I think it was? I love me some Love, but I think he's ready to move on (unless he's cool with being in a mentor role, then I can def see him being able to sit at either DT spot on the line as a back-up). That leaves us with KK, who we need to get ready for life without as he said he was considering retirement following his shoulder procedure last year.

I can see the team bringing in Damon Harrison, who was recently cut by the Lions after being traded from the Giants. Snacks is 31, and might not have a whole lot left in the tank as he seems uncertain about whether or not his career will continue. Corey Liuget can be another low cost veteran to stock the DL with along with a draft pick.

Look at those two hurney signings gone after a year. Guess they making too much.

Smart move. This young defense is going to need some veteran leadership and Mario is still showing that motor.

Yeah, but its a bit more of a Briggs and Stratton now

[stirs]

Bring Butler back

[panthers55]

Decisions are being made by Rhule and his staff regarding who they want based on how they fit in their new scheme. Obviously Addison fits what they want to do. Turner does not. Apparently Turner isn't agile or good in space despite being a perennial probowler. Smitty alluded to this in his interview a few days ago.

It’s about all we have at the position unfortunately.

Bills beat reporter said Addison could be a target for Buffalo as replacement for Shaq Lawson
