I like that top 4 at DE you have there. I've been saying if we don't go big dollar then go with a vet we can get on a lower year and lower price contract and adding to that with one of the top 3 picks and the two vets i've been saying were either Demarcus Lawrence or Mathew Judon.
His age and size are the biggest draws for me. Younger than most of the other FA DEs, sets a hard edge, and still may have upside as a pass rusher. I think he is a good DE2 to pair with a better pass rushing end which the Bears are paying Sweat to be, if you can get an Odeyingbo for 11-12M a year you can also slide him to your 3rd end in a year or so if let’s say they draft Mykel Williams and he takes off. In a better FA class you probably can get a player like him for 11-12M - WAS got a player with similar production in Dorance Armstrong for that amount last year, but the lack of strong options in this years FA class I think means he gets $16M+ a year and I’m not as excited about him at that price point.
Not a natural fit if you go by measurements for what Dennis Allen likes. I don't understand why this is still a thing on most teams because if the guy can get to the QB then who gives a shit if he weighs 265 or 245 IMO.
I agree but the problem is we don't have a great pass rusher to put him opposite of, we have a good pass rusher and a better all around DE with Sweat against the pass and run but i've said this so much, Sweat has never even had 10 sacks in a season until the season we traded for him when he had 12 total between us and Wash. If we had Trey Hendrickson or someone like him then i like your idea better.
Garrett has re-signed with Cleveland .
I’m not sure how much of a thing it still is. Defenses are becoming more hybrid. But I do think it’s a thing about the run game more than the pass rush.
Oops, thanks, missed that.
Hendrickson it is
