DE, DT, or CB?

doubt we can afford haynesworth. That would be nice though as long as he behaves. "Is big daddy cat gonna havta smack a bich?" -J Rich to haynesworth on first sign of trouble

LOL. I don't know all the particulars with respect to the cap figures and quite frankly I'm too lazy to look it up, but if we didn't have Pep on the payroll I don't see why we'd have a problem signing Haynesworth.

Besides, whether people want to admit it or not, without Pep our D-line is going to get ZERO pressure on the QB.

IF we get a high enough pick I want the best available QB (either Sanchez or Stafford) and if those guys are gone then I want either Malcolm Jenkins or Vontae Davis. If those two corners are gone then we should trade down. None of those DTs are even on the same level that Dorsey and Ellis were last year...they are OVERRATED. The DE class is really weak this year as well. Gotta go with BPA which actually as crazy as it sounds might be WR this year with guys like Harvin and possibly Maclin hanging around. I have a feeling unless we get one of those two QBs, Davis, or Jenkins in the first round I'm not going to be happy.

Number one, everything is contingent on what we can wrangle for peppers. Second, regardless of BPA (yea i know its usually our draft game plan) we have to draft defense. If that means trading back into the later stages of the first round and picking up Orakpo, Jerry, Johnson, or any of these other guys I would be ecstatic. Then maybe in the 2nd round pick my boy out of Wake Alphonso Smith. That would be my dream scenario.

I wonder what the penalty is for signing haynesworth with pep still on the franchise? If we landed him..I would take a first round and cash for whatever the penalty for keeping him on was. (if the penalty is a fine) :-)

The penalty as I understand it is that the NFL could void the contract, (Haynesworth that is)...

    • If we lose tomorrow we’d have to sweep the Bucs in order to get into the playoffs. With a loss tomorrow the Bucs would then hold the tie breaker if we finished tied If we can’t split with NO then we sure as hell not sweeping Tampa It’s win or go home tomorrow in my eyes  Biggest game since 2017 playoff game imo  
    • Grok AI: No, there are no credible reports that the Carolina Hurricanes offered Jake Guentzel the same contract terms as Tampa Bay (7 years, $63 million total, $9 million AAV) before he signed with the Lightning. Reliable sources, including The Athletic, consistently reported that Carolina’s offer during negotiations was an eight-year deal worth $64 million ($8 million AAV). Guentzel did not accept it promptly, leading the Hurricanes to trade his negotiating rights to Tampa Bay on June 30, 2024, for a 2025 third-round pick. He then quickly signed the 7x$9M deal with the Lightning on July 1, 2024. Guentzel himself later reflected (in 2025 interviews) that staying in Carolina was his initial preference, but negotiations stalled and “didn’t work out,” with Tampa’s opportunity becoming a “no-brainer.” No reports from outlets like ESPN, NHL.com, or insiders (e.g., Elliotte Friedman, Pierre LeBrun, Frank Seravalli) indicate Carolina ever matched or offered the Lightning’s exact terms—total money, AAV, or length. The extra year was Carolina’s key advantage, but they reportedly stuck closer to $8M AAV and moved on when Guentzel explored options.
