Derrick Burgess??

[dirt]

It looks like the Derrick Burgess situation in Oakland is getting ugly! The Cowboys have plenty of cap room to be able to give him the contract that frankly he deserves with his production. He is a supreme pass rusher in the prime of his career and would be awesome on the other side of Ware.
Maybe the Cowboys call Al Davis and offer a high draft pick for his rights??
In the draft there appears to be one sure thing at DL in Gaines Adams. Jarvis Moss could free fall with character questions. Moses took last year off in college. Other than that there doesnt appear to be the type of 3-4 pass rusher hybrid available this year.

something to think about anyway

So you think Jerry would pay him all the money that Oakland won't so he can play linebacker in Dallas?

I would give our #22 for this guy .......he would immediately be better then anyone we could of picked

 

[ThreeSportStar80]

I doubt seriously Dallas will persue him when they could easily draft Anthony Spencer or Jarvis Moss..

 

[hendog]

I don't know if I'd give #22 but I might pony up a 3rd. For sure a 4th.

 

[Coakleys Dad]

he would be outta control on this team...

 

[InmanRoshi]

He's tied with Merriman in the most sacks in the NFL the last two years. I don't see anyway Oakland is going to let him go.

You gotta wonder how Philly let this talent slip through their fingers, seeing as how Jim Johnson is "aggressive" and "doesn't use vanilla schemes" and "does ask them to just beat the guy in front of you" and all of that stuff that matters.

c'mon rosh...its philly...

I would take Spencer.

He plays OLB in 3-4 right? or did oakland switch back to 4-3

He's a DE in Oakland....

Rob Ryan uses 3-4 and 4-3 fronts. He played mostly 4-3 last year. Burguess had 16 sacks the year before as an OLB in the 3-4.

 

[Apollo Creed]

Wow... Let Ellis put his hand down, with Ware and Burgess coming off the edge. That would be unstoppable.

wow no crazy NO. if we wanted a pass rusher we can draft one and he'll be 6 or7 years younger then him.

lol im not saying i want burgess but you think some 1 from the draft will just come in and be as good as burgess? the guy got 16 sacks last year.. you dont just find that

Burgess didn't shine untell he signed with the raiders. which is a mystery all its own. and i'd rather roll the dice on the younger faster stronger guy gettin the 16 sacks then the older getting slower and weaker guy

Thanks, thats whyi was confused i guess.

That 16 sack OLB stat I think is worth at least looking into. If he could be had for a 3rd maybe even 2nd rounder I would be for it.

 

[Mansta54]

I'd give up a No. 2 in a NY minute for this cat. He can flatout play!!!

 

[Apollo Creed]

What do you think the asking price will be for him on draft day?

I'm not sure but I wouldn't suprised if a deal got done, JJ and Al Davis are very good friends.. :starspin
