Gregory was a quality pass rusher in the back half of 2018, once he had played himself into shape.

Not nearly the quality Aldon was early in his career, but now I'll take Gregory over Aldon and give odds.

We only need one guy to work out and its bingo.

Correction......Jerry. Jones. :popcorn:

Nobody in their right mind gives a guy 4 million dollars....after being out of the league 4 years.....and his track record.

I seriously think people have forgot all about the headcase he was. He made Greg Hardy look innocent.

I haven't forgotten. I just hope he really has turned his life around.

These old guys haven't won a championship either, have they?
I don't get that hung up with age being a precursor when evaluating talent.
If the 30 yr old player can still get it don't at a higher level than the 25 yr old, Im signing the "old" guy.
30 yrs old?,, Damn when I was 30 yrs old I was a strong man, much stronger than I am now,, but that irrelevant,, 30 yrs old, which seems to be
a trend in MMs rebuild process,, that aint old brother.

Don't have anything to come back with? Just bring up a random username.

Lol you're a waste of time.

As I said, went right over your head again. .

It didn't go over my head, Melvin. It went over yours. The reason why you take more of a chance with Smith is he was actually a good player. Gregory was not. The two should never be compared.

At least it sounds like they’re focusing on dline. Might be a lot of over the hill guys but hopefully they pan out.

“You’re gonna need a bigger bong.”

I'm predicting right now that Aldon will have more sacks this year than Quinn!! Book it!!

I said in another thread that, after what Quinn did last year, guys looking for "show me" deals are gonna be lining up to play opposite Tank because of the immense # of double teams he takes.

Not the signing I expected but makes a ton of sense

McCarthy keeps putting his mark on this team.

I personally put this philosophy on Stephen. McCray is just being a good soldier and doing his job imo. This isn’t a bad signing. Low risk, but high reward. No beef with this one.

That's 4 mill if he meets his bonuses.

Heck, we don't even know if he's got any guaranteed money.

This is very much likely a "4 mill if you make the team and play well" deal. Ask yourself this ... if a guy who was once a dominant DE comes in and earns enough playing time to rack up eight sacks in the season, is that player worth 4 mill? He sure would be.

Only crazy thing is that people over and over fail to understand the non-guaranteed nature of most NFL contracts.

This.

We likely churn him into a comp pick next year too.

Report of a 2mil salary, 2mil in incentives, I haven't seen word on gtd money.

Very low risk, high upside. Nothing not to like.

That's not what he was comparing, Brittany. LMAO. He wasn't comparing their on field accomplishments at all.
:laugh:
So yes ma'am, it absolutely went right over your head as you just confirmed.
