Oh !$#%. We got him afterall. Hope he's a budding player that can help us get some pressure.

Looks like we will be drafting a tackle.

OMG IM SO HAPPY YES YES YES !!!!!!!!!!! I think this guy is going to bring a lot to our D !

Right now lets trade with one of the teams with 2 second round picks and trade right down.Pick up Jones/Watson/Fluker and a D-lineman like Hunt.

Anyone else surprised it's only a 2 year deal?

This was a smart move by him. He didn't get the money he was looking for(in my opinion) so he took a 2 year deal to prove himself and hit the market in his prime. Great opportunity for him here to do so and I hope he capitalizes.

Talk about flat market... it's done us some favors with our cap space.

I think it will mean we have got him on good terms for us.He will have the chance to prove he deserves a big deal with either us or another team while still being only 27 and have the chance for a big deal.He will play his backside of for that deal imo.
