Forget frugality, we need to get serious about the DE position

[darthseinfeld]

This offseason we have to be willing to take a dive on a legit rusher like Chandler Jones or Melvin Ingram. Not matter how good this team is elsewhere we will be playoff fodder for the top QBs in the league. We need to build the position through the draft as well, but DE's cant be expected to be serious threats as a rookie.

Im sorry, but in a conference with Aaron Rodgers and with Matt Ryan taking a huge step towards being elite, we dont win a Super Bowl without legitimate pass rushers. Not matter how much better overall we are then they are

I would really consider going after Melvin ingram,chandler Jones or JPP.one of them can really help out our secondary.

 

[LocimusPrime]

No more " we'll send the young guns at em" or " we rush by sending waves of fresh bodies" or " he leads the league in pressures per attemp" threads.

We need real talent on the D line.

 

[Szczepanik]

I would take JPP. Let him feast on the NYG if he leaves. Always like to steal a rival's premium player.

 

[Sarge]

No brainer. GET HELP.

Id prefer Jones. Ingram is good, but I think could be a great example of paying good players elite money. Jones is elite

There is no great DE out there this offseason via free agency.

JPP is good but he ain't great any longer and he's going back to the G-men.

With Janoris Jenkins we win this game.

The problem is I don't see any real solutions in free agency this time around.

This was my fear all along when people were pimping Mayowa and Tapper and Irving and Lawrence in fall camp.............. that this team would run into a hot QB in a key game and the lack of pass rush would bite us. And it did.

You simply cannot expect to win a SB in this league without having the ability to get after the QB. And you can't get after the QB, you can't think that shopping the bargain bin is the solution to your pass rush woes.

This defense needs a major overhaul at almost every level - DE needs serious upgrading, DT seems fine, LB could use help but maybe Smith solves that, secondary could use some help. Sorry but bringing back the same CBs is not an option. I think it's time for Carr to go.

Yes, impact and catalytic talent.

 

[Gameover]

We need to sign a veteran at that spot! Something this franchise has refused to do.

 

[Sydla]

The scouts and McClay better be watching tape non stop starting tomorrow on DEs in this draft.

 

[unionjack8]

Chandler Jones is getting the tag. They have said so already.
Go get JPP

 

[fivetwos]

No you don't overpay.

It's fine when you get into a winner take all situation and cant get near the QB, as long as you don't overpay for UFA.

Building through the draft is how to go, but REFUSING to supplement with UFA just because you deem them to be somewhat overpriced is just stupid.

Take O Vernon off NYG and put him into the Dallas rush rotation and things may be a bit different today.

Just saying STEPHEN....you don't draft as well as Green Bay to operate as they do. Add some free agents !!

 

[Old'Boyfan]

One thing is for sure, we'll see if the FO is serious or not about it. Waiting for DLaw, Tapper , or anyone else on the roster will tell us. Those guys aren't going to do it.

How much cap hit for cutting Tyrone Crawford at 9m salary?

 

[thisiscowboyscountry]

Anyway we could potentially make a trade for Myles Garrett? At the same time how about bringing Ware back to Dallas? Now you have Lawrence, Irving, and Mayowa as rotational guys.

 

[MichaelWinicki]

How much cap hit for cutting Tyrone Crawford at 9m salary?

None.

There is no gain in cutting him this year.

 

[bsbellomy]

With Janoris Jenkins we win this game.

Guess we should give Trumaine Johnson a look. Next best thing I guess.

JPP is good but he ain't great any longer and he's going back to the G-men.

Chandler Jones is better then JPP IMO. Melvin Ingram may be as well. JPP is a solid DE, but he is better name then player since his accident . 8 sacks in the last 2 season
