Is Antonio Garay a realistic FA target?

I'm sure Ron would love someone like him on the d-line, but is he truly realistic for us? I also found this interesting.

Garay is 32, and the Chargers are "optimistic they can retain (him) without breaking the bank." Garay may return on a low-cost, short-term deal, but he's obviously not a long-term solution. Backup Cam Thomas showed lots of promise as a situational run-stopper in 2011, and figures to see a bump in playing time. Feb 17 - 3:12 PM

We signed him last year. His name is Ron Edwards.

What those two brings to the table are more or less the same thing both on and off the field. I have no idea why people want him.

Garay can rush the passer better, plus him and Ron on the same line. :eek: Talk about a run defense.

Chargers NT Antonio Garay led all NFL defensive tackles in "pressure per snap" last season, according to Pro Football Focus.

Garay had been an under-utilized journeyman behind Jamal Williams going into last season. He quickly emerged as a penetrating run stopper and pass rusher, disruptive in all phases of the game in his first year as a starter. Garay graded out as PFF's No. 2 overall nose tackle despite playing just half the snaps of No. 1 Kyle Williams

if they don't draft a DT in the first couple rounds he will probably be a very real possibility....that is if the chargers don't re-sign him. problem is the chargers said they were going to clean house this offseason or at least weren't going to make a push to re-sign a lot of players.

oh...and not picking him or another DT up because of the group of DTs we have right now? ugh.

      I’m honestly not trying to argue with you or talk bad about Scourton, I like him and I’ve watched all of his Purdue stuff/videos you linked previously. Just like I’ve watched all of Princely’s Florida stuff I’m only pointing out the weight thing because I’m excited about the idea of him being 255-260 and being more of a stand up edge here in Carolina like he was at Purdue versus at A&M And like you, I have a crap load of experience doing the whole cutting/weight/fitness thing and I know how crappy/sluggish I feel when I’m holding as little as an extra 8-10lbs of unnecessary weight. So for Scourton to come out and say he’s 255-260 now and feels good that’s exciting based on what he’s put on film at 280 and not feeling his best

      I hate seeing this. I'm not sure he was ever going to make it in the NFL without the injury but that injury knocked FSU out of the college football playoffs and cost him and them and opportunity on the biggest stage in college sports. The injuries are the worst part of this game. They've created a nearly unending list of "what ifs". Hell, every HS, college, and pro team out there has a long list of them. It's also a good reminder that there's no such thing as a routine major injury. Even though sports medicine has improved dramatically in recent decades, major injuries are still somewhat of a coin flip on how a guy is going to emerge from it.

      I don't know what Texas A&M was doing with their edge rushers. They had two freaks in Scourton and Shemar Stewart and yet instead of turning them loose they asked them to play 20 lbs overweight and just set the edge. That's full-on coaching malpractice at any level. Much was made about Shemar Stewart's lack of sack production, but while he wasn't my favorite prospect this year a lot of that was clearly what they were asking him to do. The good news with Scourton is that, unlike Stewart, did manage to be a huge factor as a pass rusher despite this and despite playing 20 lbs overweight. If he can stay around 260-265 it should help him re-gain some of that explosiveness from his Purdue days.
