The past couple of years he has played better and appears to have grown up. I like this one. because of the history and the shortness of his turn around a flexible contract looks like a solid option. Incentives.

I was ready to roll the dice on him last year. The Rams ended up with a solid signing last year.

We NEED talent on that line and Nick is talented. Strong at the point of attack, ties up blockers (this is where LB's can make plays), disrupts plays etc. Recent addition James Laurinitus (sp) would probably give coaches more input on his production from last year w/the Rams.

I can't see why anyone would be against NF if the price is right.

He will sign. Call it a hunch. Im excited the front office is getting serious about our defense. I believe the philosophy is changing in front of our eyes.

Well????? We're waiting!

If he signs he will be the next swing and a miss by this FO, this guy couldn't get motivated during his contract year, even Mark Ingram pulled that off

RC might be right. I mean we must pay attention to someone's criticism. Remember we were all excited by SJB and someone was not and that person was right.

Well, he does take a good mug shot...

If the contract is right I would be interested in the gamble here. But I don't want to pay market value for this guy as if he is problem free. I am more for quality people in the organization over potential problems. I like his potential talent, just not his off field concerns.

Looks like no deal was done since there's no update.
