I think it is funny how other teams think when a player is cut there is an opportunity to pick up an unnoticed gem. I guarantee this cat is the equivalent of our Richard Marshall. Good players rarely get cut or released. This is why free agents rarely work out.

That's a pretty sweeping generalization. What makes him expendable is not necessarily his performance but his SALARY. He was a top-10 pick, thus his salary is probably astronimical under the guidelines of the preceeding CBA. So, is he worth 6-8 mill a year? Probably not, but at the right price, he can be a valuable commodity for a team in need at the DT position.

And as for free agents not working out, see Charles Woodson, Julius Peppers, Ladainian Tomlinson, Michael Turner, Priest Holmes, T.O., etc. etc.

According to a lot of people on this board the only players worthy of being signed in free agency are perennial pro bowlers who are going to be pursued by everyone else and probably won't come here anyway since they want to win now. Nevermind the fact that we have had success with first round reclamation project defensive linemen and under the radar signings.

Sometimes it's just peronality clashes or he didn't want to be on that team to begin with. Yeah, it might hurt now, but if goes to a team and coaches he wants to play for...he will get paid.

      Damn back to 10th. I only caught the last 5 minutes but some of those 3's were horrible lol. In that close of game you can't be launching those many hail mary's when you could be chipping away from the foul line. I guess no one wanted to get in the paint and didn't trust the refs to give them the calls maybe? Gonna watch the highlights to get a better idea of the flow of the game

      I agree.  The Big 12 is a good conference, and he is the swinging dick in that conference.  If Bill Self retires, that sets Kansas back a bit, and Arizona moves even further ahead as the best team in that conference.  Arizona can crush west coast recruiting with USC / UCLA no longer being relevant for LA kids, and Gonzaga not being able to compete moneywise.   If Lloyd comes here, he will be second fiddle to Duke every single year in NIL and recruits.  Not to mention the entire SEC and Big East for kids who want to stay in those regions to play. This is why I keep saying go get Mark Few.  Has proven he can do more with less from an X / O perspective but can also recruit All American players and compete at a high level. He's a god at Gonzaga, but for $9M he'd make the move as that's 4x what he's making at Gonzaga, and makes him the highest paid coach in the country.

      Certainly not going to miss his constant whiffs on sacks and tackles.
