Adam Schefter Five predictions for 2015 offseason Suh and Peterson

[casmith07]

Suh will be in Washington next year. Watch, lol.

 

[dfense]

Whoever signed Suh to that contract should be out of a job. Really screwed themselves on this one big time.

That's called back loading. Looks respectable to the other players in the league by the amount. But the last year or two the team has no intention of ever paying anyways.

 

[LandryFan]

We seemed to handle him pretty well.

True enough. He isn't unblockable.

 

[LandryFan]

So you would sign players as a GM just so you don't have to play them?

LOL.

No, I wouldn't sign him...period. I was just posing a silly hypothetical. I was just saying that IF it came down to NYG and Dallas There could be a potential double gain by having the talent on your team and your opponent not having said talented player. Not quite the same as signing a top player from a division rival's roster, but close. No matter if you don't like him, you'd likely admit that he's a top player at his position.

 

[LittleBoyBlue]

If we sign Suh is dline nearly off the list for draft? I mean we have gardner, bishop and lawrence as youngins also.

I see the skins going after both.

 

[endersdragon]

While signing Suh wouldn't take D-line off the list for the draft... it seriously would help us better target BPA and not have to focus on going d-line like we had to last year when we got DLaw. That could be huge. Personally, I would probably rather get Knighten out of Denver and JPP or Hardy (if he gets out of trouble...) or Hughes which would help cement our d-line more than just getting Suh. We do that we have a decent starting 4 for our d-line and can consistently get BPA throughout the draft.

 

[BARRYRAY]

I mean we don't want a trouble maker--seriously Josh Brent the felon, the underwear thief, this isn't church.Bring him on.Not since we had Terrell Owens.This would be worth it just to watch this guy every week.He is a thug, he lacks moral fiber but you talk about a nasty attitude, this guy made our o-line even Martin take a step back and run somewhere else.I would write the check.This guy if you watch film is in a league all his own.

No there still isn't that elite pass rusher on the roster.

 

[ferrispata]

I don't want to pay him the money he will require but if Jerry brings him in, I wouldn't be disappointed.

 

[Ken]

I don't really care for Suh, regardless of how good he is.

He's a dirty player, which in itself should take him off anyone's list, but the heightened level of exposure and scrutiny he would receive in Dallas would make him a marked man.

High dollar players guarantee nothing. That should be obvious by now. Spend the money on solid upgrades across multiple positions.

Would you have draft Dick Butkus, Night Train Lane, Erik Williams, Jack Tatum, James Harrison, or Bill Romanowski?

All were less than choir boys but great players.

 

[USMarineVet]

Keep adding youthful talent with cap friendly contracts! We need to continue to develop a team that is a permanent staple when it's playoffs time. Youth, depth, intelligent drafting and salary management are the keys to longevity and the rebuilding of a dynasty if you ask me.

I agree and I think Dallas has gotten more bang for the buck with mid level FA. Sign our priority players, look to mid level FA and the draft. It has worked up to this points.

If you're gonna give the choice of signing whoever I want, I'll take all the great players who aren't bringing countless fines and a previous suspension with them.

It's not about how good a guy is. He plays the game in a manner that could put him on the bench, and it doesn't matter how good a guy is if he's on the bench.

Comparing him to other guys who played a certain way in an era in which it was acceptable is pointless.

 

[black label]

100 mil and 50 guaranteed is going to be cheap

spread that around and don't give it to one player

Jerry is done being stupid

It was actually a structured contract from the league, but the problem was Detroit moved his cap number around with restructures and voidable years. Similar to Dallas with Romo in 2012.

 

[jobberone]

Who do we need more....DT or edge rusher? I'm one of the few here last year reasonably ok with the DL (where are you Winicki?). I think it will be better next year if Spencer returns as Lawrence and Brent improve.

I also still think it needs to be better and a lot better would be best of course. And that arrives with another edge rusher to go with Spencer and Mincey. If you put a rush 3 tech in there you are getting a significant less bang for your buck IMO. They won't pass on a rush DT if there is no edge rusher there or a DB who really blows your socks off.

So Suh is someone you have to really afford AND believe Mincey, Lawrence and Spencer give you some rush off the edge.

You are right, his cap number would be around 26m not his salary

He has 10m+ in dead money left on his contract which was for 5/64m as a rookie

Since his salary was 12.5m last year and it would cost an additional 20% to Franchise him, that would put it around 26m

He did sign with Roc Nation, same as Dez, so maybe we can get a 2 for 1 deal

 

[DanTanna]

Suh reminds me of Danny Ainge and John Stockton. Everyone HATED those dirty mofos. But in a pick-up game you take them every time!

You nailed it

I wouldn't want him on WAS, NYG or PHI

 

[dfan32]

Can you imagine Suh putting a rookie under his wing? Jesus.

That would be the most bizarre and cruel hazing ritual I have ever heard of.
