Could happen on a 1 year deal. I think he might be willing to come here considering how much Quinn just got

No you can't. You don't get key contributors, whatever that means, for $7m, and paying $7m to depth/role players is what gets teams into cap trouble.
Meaning youd rather have Clowney at 21M than three others at 7M each?

That's completely fair, if that's what you mean.

I'm good either way, let's just get better.

Yes, because these $7m quality players just don't really exist, especially on defense. You can occasionally hit on a cheap vet, at that range, but it's unlikely without term, and that's a pretty substantial risk.

a 27-year old progress stopper?

Who also happens to be one of the better Edge guys in the league?

Yep, let's avoid those guys.
we don't have the cap to devote to another edge guy, so it hinders us from signing a DT ..a progress stopper...CAPWISE

Agree with you that it will take some significant cap room, but as far as impact, I'd take him over the 3 or 4 JAGS we are about to sign and count on to play significant snaps on the defensive line.
