Next Year's DTs

Assuming we don't find two starting DT's this season, who do you want from next season's FA crop?

I'll be dreaming about landing Ngata while I keep an eye on some of the others this season:

-Rubin (Browns) will get paid big $ as a 3-4 nose.

-Sione Pouha (Jets) is old but doesn't have a lot of wear because he spent 3 years between high school and college as a mormon missionary. Plus he'd give us two Siones on the line.

-Antonio Dixon (Eagles) would be an excellent get. He was undrafted and is coming to the end of a three year contract.

-Antonio Garay (Chargers) is another guy who's getting up there (31) but doesn't have a lot of wear since last year was his first year playing 16 games. Also his DC for that breakout year is now HBIC here so he might be a real possibility.

Too much suck to focus on the last two games. Need a hopeful distraction.

High hopes for Fua, McClain and even Balmer, but this season is going to involve a lot of learning on the job and my bet is just one of them is a viable starting DT by next season.

    • By all indications, the surgery was "minor." I know with all surgeries and especially back surgery there can be complications, but I think the whole time Tremble did this with the expectation he would be able to be back for Week 1 It sounds like he will be ready to start back in team drills next week. He's a veteran who knows the system so I'm sure that helps. I still can't imagine he will play a normal workload early on though 
    • Maybe. He was pretty good in college before a bad injury. He had a good preseason last year as a UDFA in Washington and was on their practice squad all year so they obviously saw something worth developing. He signed a futures deal with the Panthers earlier this year, and everything about him has been increasingly positive. Tremayne has gotten a decent amount of time with the ones, and a lot with the twos for someone that doesn't have a chance. He's the only other 6'4" plus WR on the team, plays ST, and is a more natural backup to the X receiver position than David Moore. That was my thinking behind it. But he may well end up as one of the last roster cuts. If so, I do hope they can bring him back to the PS. But I personally think there's a good chance he could be claimed given his ST ability and what hes shown at WR.
    • That was my thought originally, but so many of the beat writers have mentioned keeping 7 WRs in conversations that I went with that, at least for the purposes of this projection. But you're right that historically defensive guys who were standouts at ST have tradionally gotten those last spots
