Adding even more at DT?

[MarcusRock]

Jerry started the entire press conference setting up the trade as Clark vs Parsons. That’s why Clark *must* succeed or at least be perceived as successful.

Jerry has like been criticized for keeping players too long. Consider this is a legacy trade, I don’t think Jerry sees Clark as short term at all.

Now, we as fans, obviously see how the years layout ahead and are already anticipating a cut after 2026. I just dont think Jerry can allow it, due to the investment of his credibility

Which means Jerry was doing what Jerry does best: selling to anyone who'll buy the angle he's pushing

When you say 5, you mean Dallas' own pick, right? Green Bay's will be more like 20-32.

The Packers pick is yet to be determined Imagine a Packers team without Parsons and with Willis at qb. The Packers pick will likely be under 28.

Did you see his stats from last year?

Very average.

Like sooooooooooooooooo…….

Average.

He was injured all of last year. He played through it, but was gimpy all year. Hurt foot in game 1, I believe.

Yeah, that’s the narrative.

We will see.

For a team that doesn't like to invest in DT's, it's difficult seeing them spending available salary cap or future draft capital at the position. They like roll with what they have:

Osa
Clark
Thomas
Smith
Toia
Winfrey

Is Toia NFL ready / worthy ?

On the bright side, I'd say Clark has at least a couple good years left.

Wasn’t Hankins over 30? He played really well for us and made a huge difference in the run game

Clark is old.

OSA slightly above a JAG.

Clark is not old. You're nuts. He's 29 soon to be 30. He's not 35. Since when do you need to be 25 to be a good DT?

At 30 the decline begins....

And if he is 30 and not old then is Dak. Being 30 not old?

I am.sure the answer as often is the case is he is highest paid.

To be fair, age isnt really a concern at the DT position. 30 is fine. Now Clark's play dipped last year. So I guess we'll find out this season if that can be attributed to the injury or if he's in fact slowing down - some analysts believe he is washed.

 

[Silverz1972]

we are going to play 5 DT up front

 

[stinkface]

I hope he has at least 1 great year left in him. His contract it designed to be cut after this year so I doubt they keep him next year.

Green Bay is paying most of his salary this year and its a pile. He isn't that expensive to us next year.
