Derrick Morgan - speculation Dallas *signs with Titans*

[locked&loaded]

Good article, seems like a player we would add with a lot of upside.

"According to The Tennessean, PFF graded Morgan as the fourth-best 4-3 defensive end in 2012 and the 10th-best in 2013."

Combination of Mincey, Lawrence, and a guy like Morgan could work out. If Dwight Freeney can come for cheap as a situational backup then that would be great too. Then you use the draft to upgrade DT next to Crawford

keith rivers, derrick morgan...this team is getting worse not better.

Wonder if you thought the same after hearing the names Hitchens and Moore last year.

The Cowboys would be replacing Almost Anthony with Almost Derrick.

Morgan > selvie / spencer IMHO

Look at things that way!

With "Missed Him" Morgan

The GT fan inside of me likes this.

I'd rather have another Yellowjacket in Michael Johnson.

Is it bad that I've never heard of this guy prior to this offseason?

Overpaying for the guys we lost is the answer? Additionally you don't know who we might sign in the upcoming months.

i don't believe durant was overpaying. losing him and carter and adding one of the softest linebackers in the league is not getting better, it's getting worse. right now the team is worse than it was last year. all i can judge is what's happening right now since we both don't know who they will add in the next few months.

Ok, that helps, we have 2 posters above say good/horrible pass rusher, and then one says good against the run, and the other says awful against it.

Opinions vary.

Clearly you missed the Jed Collins signing.

Sorry, someone was going to say it.

you lot say 6sacks a season like its nothing.
Yet how many did mincey get this year and he really balled for us.
At the end of the day morgans and his 6 sack a season average is a huge ugrade over what we had this year at lde.
Put morgan opposite mincey/lawrence and next to crawford and we have a damn good trio right there.
Chuck in an upgrade at 1 tech and draft pick to split reps with morgan (or gardner) and we have some nice rotations out there.
Morgan would by a long way ugrade our pass rush and thats what we all have been shouting for isnt it?

He is a former first round pick of the Titans..............never played up to his draft pedigree..............he is nothing special, more of a rotation guy.

keith rivers, derrick morgan...this team is getting worse not better.

We are building through the draft not free agency. We are being fiscally responsible.The RIGHT way.

 

[Bullflop]

The amount of loot we have at our disposal indicates we're unlikely to sign anyone capable of a dozen sacks or so -- unless it's Hardy. The plan all along has been to acquire a 2nd tier FA and allow Marinelli to coach him up.

"softest linebackers"? Really? Durant, and especially Carter were both injury prone. Your and rants and raves, per usual, are premature. Why can't you wait and see how free agency and the draft shakes out before you step out on the ledge?

So a six sack year guy....sweet

Rush. Man.
