Sean Lee Isn’t Getting Younger

[T-RO]

I tend to write more positive things about the Boys. And I’ve often emphasized the youth of the team and how much that is going to help.

But one key cog will turn 32 with a birthday of Sunday—July 22. Yup Sean Lee isn’t getting younger.

If I were to predict things purely on age...I’d have to say that Lee will only have 2 or 3 more seasons, and that his play might not be quite as sterling this year as we’ve grown accustomed to in the past.

Part of his future trajectory will involve contractual considerations as he’s a free agent after the 2019 season.

His injuries are getting older which means he should be getting stronger and healthier. I think.

 

[Ranching]

Sean Lee will be defensive MVP this year! Just a feeling...

Which is why they drafted Jaylon Smith in 2016 and Leighton Vander Esch in 2018.

 

[Alexander]

The Vander Carpenter pick was designed to address this problem.

 

[The Quest for Six]

Yet Sean Lee is still the best player on the defense!

It would be nice. The guy deserves it.

 

[Nightman]

No one is getting any younger

Who is ? just stay healthy and we will draft your replacement or moved Jaylon Smith over. The front office should always consider age, cost and injury history in their Draft plans.

I love Lee, but no way am I giving him a new contract in 2 years at age 34. His injury risk will be even higher, and regression will occur because Father Time always wins.

Correct.

If Sean Lee plays a full season then we will be a top 10 D maybe even top 5, but for every game he misses drop us a couple of spots out of the top ten, that is how valuable he is to our D

Yep. Was just about to say this. We drafted Vander Deuce to make the transition. Let's hope he's not a stiff like on tape.

Which is why LB will be another early pick next year...

 

[Praxit]

...Depending on his genes and work habits, could pull off another 3-4 yrs. I will definitely put at least 2 good yrs for him. Will miss him huge, great player no doubt. Hope, Dak & Co can get him that ring.

 

[Aviano90]

I was really hoping Sean Lee would turn into Benjamin Button. Oh, well. Hopes dashed.

 

[Nightman]

I never understood the DAL fans that would rather have 0 games from Lee than the 10-15 he gives us every year....... he is that good
