Pernell McPhee to Bears

[LatinMind]

5 yrs just under 40mil 16mil guaranteed.

I told everybody this guy wasnt going to get no 10mil per yr. Man wouldve loved having him in Dallas.

under 8mil per yr is a great deal for the production this guy gives. Guy had just as many pressures as sugs in 1/3 the snaps. had more than half the sacks too.

Disagree.

$8 million per year for a part timer who isn't good against the run is way overpaying.

Glad to see someone else is doing it and not us.

Moot point. He's not coming here. But I am sorry for your disappointment. It's always tough to lose a pet cat.

I'll have my bummer moment when we don't get Greg Hardy.

What, do tell, does this mean for RATliff? Come on, Jay. Do your mentoring thing and take Pernell McPhee under your wing.

Mcphee will be a OLB for the bears. Makes zero sense to put this guy as a 5tech. You dont use him to eat up blocks, you use him to get after the QB

A 280-lb OLB? I would hate to see him trying to cover any TE/RB/FB on a pass play. Can't play the run well. Can't cover. One-trick ponies get exposed pretty quickly in the NFL.

I'd argue it is a lot easier to accumulate pressures when you're doing it rested as a specialist versus as a 3-down player like Suggs is, and also it's a lot easier when you're getting #2 rusher attention while teams are focused on blocking Suggs. Bottom line is it's never a good idea to pay big bucks in free agency for someone to do something they've never done before. McPhee going from a part time 3-4 OLBer is no sure thing to succeed as a full time 4-3 defensive end.

Bears are switching to a 3-4 this year.

Yup I'm talking about him being worth 8M per if he signed with Dallas

only this year,before that spent most of his time o the line,but the ravens took timmy j in the drafy and moved mcphee to olb.
i think with his experience playing both roles he couldve been a solid lde for us but hey ho plenty of talent left in the pot

I would have liked McPhee but not the end of the world...the $ is actually fairly encouraging though. A guy like Brandon Graham has to get less right? 5/35 with $12 guaranteed sounds like a good deal to me.

Giants supposedly hot after Graham.

 

[BrAinPaiNt]

Maybe he will be one of the rare ones that Leave that Ravens D for big money and wind up doing well elsewhere.

Hey that's start a I want Greg Hardy page. This guy could be the new Charles Haley only younger.

 

[reddyuta]

Fa is getting picked clean, Hardy is my only hope of some real change.

Give me sheard/Morgan maybe graham and I'll be ok
Of course hardy is a no brainer if available at the right price
