Interesting logic.

We haven't had a DT come in and play the position like he has in quite a while and you would simply let Nick walk? Maybe the Saints FO (Loomis) will use some of the money that they would have given John Jenkins & resign him. Our other guys are really young and CHEAP. Rankins, Onyemata & Tyeler are all on ROOKIE deals. It wouldn't hurt to give Nick a front loaded contract that takes into account this years production (Saints got him on the cheap).

We finally hit on a FA and let's let him walk

I really want us to resign him. He has been one of our best players this year and I still think he has the room to improve.

He is a big part of why our defense is better against the run it's a no brainer we have to resign him

Honestly he scares the hell out of me. He works hard when he wants to and dead money is still something that can give us trouble with another less than productive high priced contract. Three words........incentive laden contract!

Nick played pretty good for us this year.
He knows he's free and up for grabs.
Does someone need him more than we do? or thinks they do?
We can't get into a bidding war.
I like him if he's reasonable $$.
If another team goes all in we have to let him walk.

Right, no more "Junior" contracts. That was a clusterF**K.
