I don't like this thought to pay Osa for one reason

[Coogiguy03]

How would you like it if they let him walk and Washington was able to sign the 7th ranked free agent on the board and we had nothing at dtackle?

You're saying that as if he's the ONLY DT left in free agency and the draft. Better yet, who's to say Osa has a 20 million dollar season with washington!

 

[Coogiguy03]

I think the driving factor for paying OSA was because Quinn was going to poach him. He's a young strong buck who Dallas slightly over paid for. But that extra was to also keep him away from thier up and coming rival.

I mean it happens, it's happened before!

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

that's fine, can he NOT be replaced???

I mean by who? I think he’s a good player. But I mean if we are gonna give up 200 rushing yards with him then yeah I dont see the point in spending it on him.

They would need 3 dtackles. Why wouldn't you want the 7th ranked free agent on the board when you need him?

Remember who you are talking about.

Hard to forget the Clampetts!

I mean it happens, it's happened before!

Our free agents helped Washington make the playoffs and caused us to not make the playoffs last year.

Because our GM and son are not knowledgeable, hard working front office people who study film on players outside their organization, they favor their own players.

When they say “We like our guys”, they might as well say “These are the only guys we know anything about.”

I think thats a pretty fair summery.

He's one of the best. Why wouldn't you want him? You guys are flat out strange. They still will add 2 more dtackles. You want them to sit there with nothing going into free agency and the draft.

 

[Paperbag]

Would we really look to pay an outside free agent 20+ million to play DT for us? I can honestly say that Stephen would make up some excuse as to why we couldn't do it, but because Osa is one of our players that we drafted, we'd be willing to pay the market value for him at 20+ million. Make it make sense. Please give me your thoughts

I think they should as long as it’s Team friendly market value
We lost Malik Collins a few years ago

They can get 2 dtackles in the draft. They need 3.

I totally agree, we have to get the resources and put some major thought in what we need to do to fix this run D, if he's a focal point in stopping it, then they sign him, but I feel they can bring in MORE options than just spending all that money on one person

In Jerry's eyes, our guys are always more valuable than an outsider at the same money.
Why? Cuz Jerry picked him originally, so by definition he is better.

Good point, but WHAT did those same guys help us do when they were here, they got ran over, they had some success at times, but it wasn't anything that was anywhere we haven't been in the almost 30 years

 

[75boyz]

Another in the long list of Jones overpaying at the elite level for actual average level talent.

That’s because they never address the 1 tech ( nose guard )

Does anyone remember Johnathan Hankins??? The job he did in helping us stop the run, he was cheap, and a big body

If we lost Osa. People would point out how good he is.

Our guys were valuable to Washington last year.

Correct but they let him go

They helped us make the playoffs. We got run over because we didn't have linebackers.
