I hope he's not the guy they sacrifice to get under the cap next year.

I don't know if we could afford him but he is good. I think if we get 2 DT's to push the middle like Detroit { except better ha, ha} with what we have in our young DE's we will be good, I would like Avril because of his play and work ethics to teach the young guns we have. Will Smith just don't have it anymore.

Yeah, and in reality, I think the Lions are going to make room for him under the cap. They're going to need him because VandenBosch ain't gonna' be around forever.

If you do get some good defensive line talent during the offseason, just hope Spags doesn't play 'the wide nine' unless your linebackers can fill them gaps. For all the 'push', 'pressure' and 'collapsing the pocket' that went on with our D/L, any team with a halfway decent running game gave us fits. Next season should hopefully be better with Fairley playing more.

I wanted to draft Campbell. If the Cardinals don't tag him, I still don't see any way we can afford to sign him.
