Robert Quinn being finalized

[darthseinfeld]

Quinn has the potential to be better than any player we'd take in the late rounds. Could have 3-4 quality years left in him.

At minimum he would be par to what we got out of Gregory this. 6 sacks with fairly consistent pressure. If we get that and get similar production from Lawrence on the other side, our edge pressure is in good shape

I do still think you can get a 10 sack season out of Quinn.

Sacks next year

Quinn 12
Taco 11
Hyder 8
Armstrong 7

LOL. What has Taco done in the first 2 years to have you sold on him?

What's funny is this is exactly what everyone was saying about Tank before he broke out.

Lawrence had 8 sacks in his second season. His biggest issue was health, it was never play. Taco isn't getting on the field much because he can't beat out the guys in front of him and he won't beat out Quinn either.

At least Ogbah doesn't cost $9 million for his low sack total.

But he would cost a draft pick in a trade, and the team is likely to pay that $9 million to Crawford whether they traded for Ogbah or not anyway.

Best D line in the NFL will make their home at AT&T Stadium this year. Suuuuuuuuuuuuper Bowl!

Agreed

Lawrence would have gotten 10 sacks in 2016 if not for the suspension and back injury.

Taco 11
Hyder 8
Armstrong 7

I would love for you to be right, but I don't have that much confidence in Taco.

[irishline]

they are obviously extending him for atleast 1 year/

FWIW... It says he signed a new 1 year contract... Now that could mean one year after this one but it doesn't sound that way.

He's being sarcastic, making fun of "happy fans". (now the site censors posts?) I did not post happy fans. sun shine pumpers

 

[Nightman]

Future picks lose roughly a round of value per year. A comp pick, being after the end of the traditional round, is viewed as a top pick of the next round. So in this instance, a comp 3rd is actually viewed as a 4th, and the present value 1 round loss of a future pick makes it a 5th.

thank you again..... you are always great at explaining things

Quinn Covington Collins Hyder

How do you run a functioning offense against that?

right over it.

 

[mattjames2010]

Bye Dlaw you greedy sob

What makes you think this is D-Laws replacement and not Gregory's?

 

[jazzcat22]

I am not happy with it being a 1 year deal. This just means one more contract negotiation to handle next year and we all know they won't have the foresight to get it done early.

Over half the team next year at this point will be free agates.

Bye Dlaw you greedy sob

locking up Quinn for that whole 365 days really gives us flexibility to send DLaw packing

 

[Hawkeye0202]

The CBA ends after 2020

JJones knows something we don't

If you recall last year a lot of players signed 3-year deals rather than standard 5 years. Read that was coz of the expiring 2020 CBA.

 

[TheCount]

We're going to trade for him and sign him to a one year deal?

Unless it's a late pick, that is stupidity.

Taco hasn't played a ton of passing downs

It is hard to get sacks on running plays
