I never thought of him as a top DT in the league, or even close, but some stats indicate he might be better than we think. I would love to keep him, but there is no chance I would pay him what Madubuike is making. If think Madubuike is just a better, more consistent player.

If Osa is going to cost $20 million or more, I would be forced to move on. He might still be improving but that seems expensive for what he brings to the table. The free agent list of DTs is short this year and I don't know if that makes Osa more valuable or not. I have to believe Jerry is probably not going to be willing to pay more than !4 million for Osa, if even that.

They can't keep overpaying their players and expect to build a balanced team. They might have to draft 3 DTs this spring because they may only have 2 under contract going into the2025 season, Mazi and Justin Rogers. Of course Jerry could spring for a free agent, something I do not expect to happen. Maybe they can get Milton Williams from the Eagles for less money.

Osa is decent in the passing game, but comparing him to Lawrence and Simmons in terms of his overall value is delusional.

Here's a good opportunity for us to just put this on pause don't worry about the free agents don't worry about the players don't worry about the contracts we need to get a coaching staff in here first let them decide what schemes are going to run and let them in give Jerry advice on who they might want to keep like a priority list of the players we have versus ones we might need to replace to help their scheme we have no idea what that is right now so we can't even really talk about the draft we need to figure out what we're going to be running here and then we can move on to players and positions

is that supposed to be a 14 or an exclamation point with a 1, I mean 14,000,000 maybe he takes that I don't know what the going rate is for an above average but not yet elite three tech... The last time they let Malik Collins go the fans felt the same way about him they weren't quite sold they didn't think him leaving was a big deal and he turned out to be a great player what did san francisco give malik collins?​

​

By the way Neville gallimore is making a few plays in the playoffs you know also ironic guys like Doug free there's a lot of guys that come through here that y'all considered Jags but quote UN quote they haven't made it yet sometimes you gotta hope you find a middle ground with these players, I mean some reality has to set in both sides have to realize their value and also when it's a ridiculous ask we can't have them asking for $20 million if there are $14 million player.​

​

If it's a true comp or not but Malik Collins I just looked it up makes under $8 million..OSA most likely in that area of type of player and production?​

​

So there's no way he's worth $30 million I looked it up that's top three interior D line pay and those dudes are putting up numbers think about this Dexter Lawrence and Payne make 22.. Air production also higher as far as impact goes and stats then osa.​

​

im thinking 14mil is fair maybe 16 for him...​

15m-17m is likely what he will get either here or the open market

if not for anything DLaw is becoming injury prone and age aint makin him better

 

[DoctorChicken]

Osa is a good DT who would be better playing next to another good DT.

He’s not worth the top DT money he’s going to probably require. He isn’t a game changer.

But if they sign him and draft another DT, it’d be a step towards solidifying the middle of the defense.

.. exactly my point. Fathertime is real in NFL.

He is solid at best. In the modern NFL, you need to be able to replace guys like him. Giving him a big contract would be the defensive equivalent of what we did with Steele.

 

[Risen Star]

You'd have to be insane to pay that for him. A mediocre at best starter.

I would not even contact his agent. Next.

I can't pay a DT 20 million especially if he is average against the run.

In my opinion, he is the Anthony Hitchens of his time, solid starter, but never will be a star. Not paying him star type of money. I think you can find similar production at a fraction of his cost. A player like Detroit's, Levi Onwuzurike.

I agree with this, but the problem is, and maybe this is the problem in Dallas in general, they did not prepare for Osa's eventual departure. They've known for 4 years this day was coming why not draft a young 3T to come in and develop behind him? Now they are sitting with only 2 DTs under contract and one looks like a 1st round bust. The other they picked up off the Bengals practice squad. This is not how you build a championship team.

 

[blueblood70]

that's about where I put him.... Give or take 1,000,000 either direction be nice if we can get him for 14,000,000... Guy like Malik Collins little different ages but they're about the same production same position only made 8 million last year now I think he's going to become a free agent next year but San Francisco got him on the cheap...

 

[DasTex]

How was the run defense so bad if we had the run stuffer Mazi paired with one of the best DT's in the league?

He can be franchised if they really want to keep him.

It would cost more than $23 million to franchise tag him and it would all hit the CAP in 2025. This is not going to happen.

 

[TheMarathonContinues]

I don't think the issue is money...or finding it. The issue is should you even invest in Osa 20 million a year. And that's a different question. I hear about how everyone says he's good yet our rush defense sucks. Now its not his fault but I have a hard time hyping up anyone on this interior who are responsible for our rush defense. Mazi gets all the criticism but its more than him.

Dlaw is a FA

I mean, it's tough to say without knowing the salary cap right now. We know they will create the space they need, and they more than likely won't be franchise players. Lose Osa for nothing? I don't know.....I could see them doing something, but it's tough to say without knowing how much cap they have to work with.
