they will either can . or will go two or three routes .. draft a young DE early, ...trade for a vet DE ala Quinn ..or do an DE bargain based FA experiment ala Benson Mayawa.
- they will not likely sign over a Clowney or Griffin, unless they get a 1 year prove it deal , imo.
Something that i think a 32 yr old Griffin (who will be 33 yr in Dec.) will not do. at that age, he has got to have his last contract be a huge one, i'd be shocked otherwise.
- Gregory has missed so many years, so many games, and still so inexperienced,that he's still in a developmental stage at age 27.
Only good things is he hasn't had any major injuries and he doesn't have a lot of wear and tear on his body. And if folks look extensively at his game tape, he is a great deal better vs run than the departed Quinn.
He has the physical ability and knack for stretching out the run, despite his 250+ pound frame.
But since he's yet to be in an NFL full year strength programming and still inexperienced, i'd
be skeptical about starting him right off the bat, and we'd certain have to have quality subs/rotation guys
in his place.
i dunno if Gregory is the long term, but especially considering his outstanding skill set, and new league
policy that is much more lenient vs his persistent issues with marijuana usage, i'm willing to believe they
will try to make every use of his remaining years here as much as they can.
