We Should not Overpay For Tank

[nightrain]

They should have signed him after last season. It's a tough situation. They need to get better inside to reap the benefits of his play. Without him, they are not nearly as good up front.

I'd rather have Frank Clark if he's cheaper.

After the year he had.....he’s not gonna be cheap either. Not only that but he was MIA in our playoff game.

Yes, let’s sign a tier 2 DE and then use the $5-6M savings for a backup S or OG. Championship!

 

[dallas72]

What is our current cap situation?

70 mil...Lee will retire & Romo $ drops

 

[Chrispierce]

The market should reflect the switch to interior lineman for teams over DEs,so hopefully they stay within those parameters.

 

[Captain-Crash]

I'd pay everybody. oh crap this isn't the no salary cap years where we could buy the best players and super bowls...

Is Lawrence a tier 1 DE?

Tank is an enigma...……...he is too good to let him just walk and he is our best defensive lineman, but...…

He disappears like Casper the Ghost when we get into December and January.

Personally, I tag him again...……….I am very hesitant to give big money contracts to guys that play small when the games get big.

 

[Floatyworm]

He's a UFA. Unless we franchise tag him again, he can sign with anyone. If we don't pay him ... someone else will.

I feel like John Gruden started this post....

You resign your best rusher...should be our top priority. But knowing this staff....Jesus who knows. I don't trust this organization to do anything right anymore.

 

[Rayman70]

I'd tag him again, personally.

YUP TAG HIM AGAIN. Its foolishness to sign him longterm. He was a nonfactor the last 3 games.

 

[Rayman70]

if someone wants him for 2 first rounders, Im all in. Love him...but business is business.

 

[Rogerthat12]

He made himself a target with those soul comments. I saw him getting double and triple teamed against the Rams, nobody else really stepped up...

Randy was blocked by Whitworth one on one and eliminated.

 

[BlueStar22]

If we don't pay what he's worth, someone else will and yall will be *****ing about the pass rush next year.

We are complaining about the pass rush this year.

he has a torn labrum and he was still getting pressure.

 

[GimmeTheBall!]

You do realize Tank is THE pass rush, there are no others. You really want to roll into next year with Crawford, Gregory, Taco and Armstrong????

Untwist them matey!
There will be 50 others trying out next year. Give it time.
You are too involved with Tank.

He’s really good,but not elite class. Got to show up in the big money games like LA to warrant the elite contracts. So I’m with you,tag him if a more honest deal can’t be worked out.

 

[Beast_from_East]

he has a torn labrum and he was still getting pressure.

But he did the same thing last season too.

Now if he was hurt last season as well, then there is a durability issue that needs to be discussed before giving a long term contract.

 

[Daygoboy6191]

We could have close to 80 million in cap savings when you factor in a few moves.

1 Cap raises
2 Cuts of Lee, T-Will, Hurns, Joe Thomas, Ehringer, CJ Goodwin.

Cap hell is over, and Lawrence is going to be here for a few more years at the very least.

Of course not, but a smart team simply doesn't allow 1 middle tier edge rusher hold them financially hostage.
