So we're hypocrites then?
It's really a confluence of multiple front office philosophies - too old, too much money (maybe), overrating our current depth chart at a position, McCoy plays DT which is Marinelli's world and Marinelli can turn crap into filet mignon so why bring in a talented guy like McCoy.
Despite having Lawrence last year, this team was still MIDDLE OF THE PACK in terms of sacks and QB pressures. A big reason for that was no consistent interior pressure. You bring in McCoy and you have a chance to have dominant interior pass rushing while having Lawrence and Quinn attacking from the edges. You roll out Lawrence, Quinn, McCoy and Hill or Collins on passing downs? That's an OL problem for sure.
It makes so much sense and is one move that could vault this defense into the Top 3 IMO.
Now if he wants something like 3 years, and $40MM, sure, walk away. But if he's willing to play for a one year type deal like Suh did last year, it's a no brainer. The rollover cap excuse doesn't fly because rollover money, for all intents and purposes, is really a one year boost to the cap and we have rarely used all our cap in recent years anyway.
