Dwight Freeney that is. Heck, I don't know if he could play standing-up in a 3-4. I just know he gets to the QBs. It's blown-up in our face before w/ Joey Galloway, BUT isn't Freeney worth the risk?! He just turned 27 y.o. and is the BEST pass-rusher on earth.....

This could be our starting LBs: Ware (6-4 260), Ayodele (6-2 250)/James (6-2 245), Carp (6-2 255), Freeney (6-1 265)

What do ya'll think?:confused:

His 5.5 sacks this year were ming-boggling.

kinda hard to get sacks when the hole line shifts to block you

Still not worth 2 first rounders though..... Then again I only see one player in the NFL who is worht 2 first rounders and he isn't going anywhere and that's LeDainian (sp).

There are probably a couple of others. Could you imagine what the offense would look like with Brady or Manning?

But their GM's would never trade them for 2 firsts.

Even if we still ran the 4-3 i'd say no, just because of the fact he doesn't play the run well enough. If i'm gonna give 2 #1s and a HUGE contract i'd want a guy that can rush and STILL play the run like Haley,Bruce Smith, etc. Paying a guy the kind of cash DF is gonna get and trading 2 #1s as well, and then switching him to OLB would be a monumental gamble and could make us look like the ViQueens in the Walker trade before it was all over. I mean in this market the guy's gonna get 50-60 million and 15 up front.

2 first rounders for any player, never again. The Joey Galloway acquisition killed us.

he's tagged so who cares

I think that was the point. A franchise tagged players usually costs 2 first round picks to get.

No, he is not worth that much.

Sorry, I guess I wasn't including superbowl winning/hall of fame QBs when I said that.... lolZ. Let me rephrase that then, I don't think anybody excluding franchise QBs is worth two first rounders except LeDainian.

Freeney is not worth anywhere close to two first rounders, especially by our team

he is not, nor will he ever be an OLB

and he's coming off a mediocre yr

I can think of maybe 2 players in the league that I might consider worth 2 1st rounders.

Even then I probably wouldn't pull the trigger.

that's nice that he can get to the qb.

too bad he was part of the dline that set records for it's ineptitude at stopping the run.

Nobody and I mean nobody is worth 2 draft first round picks.......NOBODY..........especially Joey Gallowaste

BTW......Minnesota is still feeling the effects of when Jerry and Jimmy gave them the ole Texas State Bird in the Herschel trade....
