Patriots release defensive end Kony Ealy

[NorthwestDallas40]

Not a scheme fit. Really think we should kick the tires until Moore and Irving come back. Tapper cant stay healthy.

 

[PJTHEDOORS]

No

 

[Hardline]

nope

 

[JoeyBoy718]

25 years old, 5 sacks a year with the Panthers, bad fit in New England. Why did Carolina get rid of him?

 

[Aven8]

Isn't he the oft injured Ealy??

 

[joseephuss]

No

Why not? He is at least worth bringing in to take a look in my opinion. I don't view him as some sort of savior, but he seems to fit the Dallas scheme more so than the Patriots scheme.

Exactly. It's not like we are stacked at DE. Why not take a look at him. If he sucks, we release him. He is young and has had stretches that were dominant. Look at his play when Panthers were in the Playoffs. He was terrific in the Super Bowl against Denver.

 

[WillieBeamen]

You guys are crazy saying "no". You act like we have a ton of talent at that position. Add in the suspensions and the health issues of tapper, and I say its a no-brainer...

 

[Fla Cowpoke]

I mean, why would we ever consider bringing in competition for Tapper and Neal for the last DL spot?

 

[Stash]

I'd take a free look.

I'll admit he's been injured and lacks consistency, but he showed pretty well on a big stage. And we have very few proven commodities at DE.

This is crazy:

 

[mattjames2010]

I'd get him in here ASAP - he'd be seeing playing time quite quickly with the guys we are putting on the field in the first few games of the season.

 

[reddyuta]

you guys are overrating some DEs on our team,we should definitely bring Ealy in.

 

[coach steele]

I doubt he makes it through the waiver wire (unless injured). I bet someone snatches him up before us. It's difficult to find young pass rushers.

 

[Texas_Pete]

I say kick the tires. Dude is only 25.

 

[bodi]

IMO we got nothing

 

[unionjack8]

Tapper can't contribute from the treatment room. Bring him in....

 

[KingintheNorth]

We liked him. Stephen said he would have been the pick in the 2nd round, had the team not trade up to get Demarcus Lawrence.


I also doubt he clears waivers. A talent-deficient team like Cleveland might take a shot on him.

This is right. He's subject to waivers. He's not gonna fall to us. If we wanted him we would've had to have traded for him. If he clears waivers then yes bring him in, he has the size to play DT as well. I'd easily take Ealy over any of the other potential fourth defensive tackle candidates we have here. He could be another Crawford/Irving type for us.
