I think he played well, but that he is just not a top 12 DT. Some team might think he is worth $6 million, but I personally don't


Nick was disruptive most of the year but at the end of the day, the NFL is a business and he should receive what the market will pay.

I'd rather spend a little more and sign guys like Jones, Zeitler, JPP...

For 9mil you can probably sign Hightower or maybe even Zeitler...

Not sure if you had a chance to read that report JP sent earlier today, however Zeitler's next deal could potentially be upwards of 11M annually (per spotrac projections). I don't think we'll be seeing any top tier "bargain" signings.

9 million? GTFOOH. That's top 20% money.
He had 43 tackles last year and we gave up 4.8 ypc.

Let someone pay that to offset our signings, and maybe we actually will get a comp pick in '18

Yeah, no way. Just draft one.

oh no, not even 6 mil, please we've been here before, once paid they layed and collected. lets let him test the market and when the browns give him 5 yr 45 mil contract we will bow and thank him for his services. its the nature of the beast.

I want him back but if he's looking for around $10 million/year then I'm out. We just spent 3 draft picks last year on Rankins and Onyemata and drafted Davison the year before. If we upgrade at DE opposite Jordan then I think our D-Line will be fine without Fairley.

If I'm paying that type of money I want the NT from Baltimore thats a FA. Better options out there for a price tag like that. I draft a NT to rotate with Davison and slide Onyemata to rotate with Rankins. All these players can slide in and out and are cheap for years, it also allows us to shore up other positions with huge savings.
