But I see a lot of parallels to the Hill situation. Unquestionably elite player surrounded by JAGs. Potential huge haul in draft capital as well as salary cap relief.
Jones plus whatever dudes isn't getting it done. We won't be drafting in position to properly re-stock LT or DE if we keep him, and we can't afford top of the market replacements.
Maybe we should move him. What kind of haul do you think we could get? [Reply]

I've always seen him more as an under-tackle; 1-shade sort of guy. And yeah, I think in an even front you could get a little more out of him than the Broncos are getting with him as a 3-tech.
But I dunno - I thought he looked better as a rookie than he looked this year. After his rookie year I really thought he was going to be a stud and it just didn't happen for him. [Reply]
Am I wrong in thinking that Saunders could play that DT spot next to Jones? Obviously contingent on him staying healthy and getting a new deal (which I think is likely). [Reply]

Don't hate it. But if you do that, you probably want to bring Williams back AND spend a 2nd day pick on another rotational DT.
I think there are options here.
But I think Crow is really talking about prioritizing DT as the highest ROI. Obviously the Sanders/Williams/Pick approach wouldn't be any kind of high priority option. [Reply]

So you cut frank Clark. What you don't do is get rid of the best or 2nd best DT in the league. [Reply]

Ideally you get him on the 4-year VSB.
So he'd get in the $2.75 million range and only about half that would end up on the cap. Seems like an ideal candidate for it as I don't see his market exploding [Reply]

You'll need DL help either way, so if he's cheap sure.
But they've just gotta get better up front. I know the sack numbers this year etc. But it's gotta get better. [Reply]
