Option at DE: Osi Umenyiora wants starting job

[burmafrd]

shame you cannot have really big incentive driven contracts any more. I would sign him for the Vet minimum then have all sorts of bonuses for number of sacks and if he were to make the Pro Bowl, etc.

I'd like to kick the tires on Jason Babin. He has a high motor, some size and speed. Bet Monte could make him a star in Dallas.

Too old. This team needs youth. Pass.

I think he's going to be a Jaguar for a few more years, but even if he isn't you get the same problem with Babin as you do with Osi.

He's actually a few months older, doesn't play the run, etc. And really, if he's not in the wide 9, he's not all that great at getting to the QB even though it's seemingly all he tries to do-- RBs blow right by him. He's still due some big bucks also.

Lot of rumors of attitude and work ethic problems when they dumped him in Philly too.

Appreciate the details of Babin. Did not know. I may have to change my stance.

Osi has trouble stopping the run!

Frankly, we're in need of pass rushers for this defense. I wouldn't have a problem with Osi being one of them. Can't see starting him, but I'd be happy to have him in a rotation with Ware and hopefully Spencer. Of course, it depends on price and whether someone actually signs him as a starter.

The fourth spot in the rotation I'd reserve for a young guy, but I don't like putting much trust in young guys, including Crawford, until they win it.
