Mike Pennel. 26 years old, 6’4” 330 lbs. very good run stuffer. 60th ranked DL on Brandon Thorn’s list. Would like to get him to be a rotational guy on 1st/2nd down.

He touts immense power in his hands and has the length to reset the line of scrimmage and command the point of attack. Due to his adequate athleticism and lateral quickness, he will struggle expanding to win outside leverage against reach blocks. He can compress the interior of the pocket with a bull rush, but adequate snap quickness negates his ability to get offensive linemen to open their hips or worry about anything other than power.
so whats the deal with earl thomas? I heard alot of chatter about him being up for a trade or was he a RFA?
If we dump alex, with the 17mil we save on the cap we could realistically get 2-3 impact players for that money? Earl Thomas, Malcom Butler would look nicely in the backend. Possibly keep revis and nelson for rotation.
Then with the money we could save on guys like hali, DJ reworking his deal, ford, and bailey. We could look at addressing LB and WR/TE again. [Reply]
