Dee Ford is available

Flowers is a FA because New England doesn't like re-signing their expensive own on defense.

That is true but better than trading since we already lost our one

 

[Future]

Sure, in a limited pass rush role. That's not exactly realistic considering what you'd have to give up for him.

"limited pass rush role" in today's NFL is like half the snaps. He'd be fine making the switch for the other 25% of snaps he'd be on the field for.

It would make no sense to get him when they passed on watt. Hes a big name so it wouldn't happen anyway.

 

[Verdict]

Ford isn’t going to sign with anybody for 15 mil a season. He is going to get the going rate for top notch pass rushers. Which is closer to 18-20 mil. Don’t get hung up on the “LB” distinction.

Right. If the going rate is $18m to $20m we need to be sure and pay Tank $23m per year just because he wants it.

Take the money you want to spend on ET and throw in the yearly salary cap increase and make the offer
