Lets get this guy signed pleeeease.
Then all we will need is someone that can collapse the middle every now and then.
Tyrone Crawford?

Not even close. Lee and ro don't rush the passer. But much better than dead last.
I'm seeing a probable 6 game suspension next year though...is he worth it, if we only get a little over a half a season next year??
If this happens it would easily be the most exciting non-draft acquisition since Owens.
Goodell
Mara
Sign one more depth DE and the DL goes from a weakness to being at least competent. The biggest challenge is I don't see Hardy, Mincey or Lawrence as a strong side DE really. I'm sure we'd swing Mincey and Lawrence over, but I dunno.
That said, I was very pleasantly surprised by Lawrence's effectiveness against the run, so maybe he can do it. That would be great.

Yeah, Sean Lee has 0 career sacks. He's an INT and tackle machine though. McClain isn't a pass rusher either. He's a pure MLB. The best pass rushing LBs were Carter (by far) and Wilber.
Just made a post about this in another thread before seeing this... I think this is a smart move. We need to badly address the D-line but there aren't many free agents or rookie prospects that will make an immediate improvement. Outside of Suh, there were no big free agents this year. Guys like Sheard would have been smart low-cost signings, but there's no guarantee they would have been much better than guys like Spencer/Selvie. But Hardy is a guy who can be brought in for cheap and make a huge impact. He reminds me of this year's Melton. A low-risk, high-reward "prove it" deal. We needed edge rushers badly last year. Mincey was solid but he's no superstar, and Lawrence didn't come around until the end of the season. I really like Crawford at DT. We still need some 3-tech depth and possibly a starting 1-tech, but depth is easier to find. We need a starting-caliber edge rusher in the worst way. If we get Hardy, we can go BPA in the 1st round. I really really hope Marcus Peters falls to us. He can be a great CB.
Is this guy that good? I really don't know much about him.
Yep. If we get Hardy, we only need to make D-line free agency moves similar to what we've been doing at LB. We're good at bargain shopping. Problem is, sometimes you need to look outside of the clearance rack to get impact players.
Hardy won't cheap IMO. And much higher expectations than Melton had last year. We're talking about a top 3 pass rusher in the league. Very exciting news.
