The Jokeman

Hughes isn't getting double digit sacks like he did earlier in his career and for much of the early season he seemed a step slower. He's good but not great. I don't mind keeping him for leadership and he can get to the QB on occasion. He's similar to Addison and I might be in minority but I keep both and then sign an UFA and draft a kid in the mid rounds to maybe compete. The UFA I like the most is Dawuane Smoot as I don't think he'd break the bank but think he's starting to come into his own. Don't forget to include Dawuane Smoot in the lower cost option guys who could be worth adding.

He'd definitely be on my short list as he's a good player, at least he has been for New England and Miami.

Ngakoue to me is undersized and over valued. I was doing more digging of UFAs and a name that could be a very affordable option and productive was Dawuane (DJ) Smoot of the Jaguars. https://www.si.com/nfl/jaguars/news/should-the-jaguars-re-sign-dawuane-smoot as he's had 11.5 sacks combined the last two seasons after having 0 his first two seasons. If looking for a 1 tech that could be had in the lower rounds to me the guy to target is Bobby Brown III. I think we could get him in the 5th round and coule be good value.

John Ross? Phillip Dorsett has a better resume.

Ngakoue completely disappeared after being traded to Baltimore. I think he's a good not great pass rusher yet think will get overpaid for.

Carl Lawson likely won't break the bank and has youth on his side yet is he a good enough pass rusher to start? Maybe not if so then Romeo Okwara likely the best young guy out there IMO. Yet he might be out of our price range as with use on his side some team desperate for pass rush could sign him, I could see New England getting him if Patricia liked him in Detroit. I agree as think he could be a replacement for what we lost in LorAx so put him at SLB, keep Edmunds at MLB and play Klein at WLB.

The Bills are trying to reduce salary because Josh Allen going to get big time money in 2 years. Cox is a nice add but at what cost? A high draft pick that might be cheaper and better long term option.

We have size assuming Star returns if not am sure Beane will draft a NT type. As let's not forget before we signed Butler am sure we tried to get DJ Reader. I'm sure Beane knows we still have a hole there assuming we cut Butler.

I'm sure Tampa will franchise Barrett again if can't get a long term deal worked out before start of free agency.

McDermott and Rivera are tight, I think they'd talk to each other before we thought about adding Smith, I don't mind him as a backup.

At least he's in the NFC West so we don't have to face him as doubt the Cardinals being in the Super Bowl anytime soon.

Sweeney agrees with this comment.

An affordable John Brown type might be Phillip Dorsett.

No but he was scene at the Buffalo airport carrying George Seifert's luggage.

I won't argue on Edmunds, to me with his size he always read to me SLB not MLB. Either way we agree we need better pass rushers, it's just a matter of how we do it. I think we need 1 as I think Addison and Hughes are solid options but missing another guy.

Give me Matt Judon or Bud Dupree over JJ Watt.

Agree we have struggled finding a good pass rusher since Mario left but guys like Greg Hardy, Charles Johnson excelled under McD in Carolina, we can find/generate more pass rush but it doesn't have to cost a lot to do so.

No snow blower jokes? I'm appalled.

If they could get DeShaun Watson from Houston I'd consider it. Yet I doubt that would happen.

Seriously? I've got issues with our HC then.

You remember when the Seahawks took Bruce Irvin and Bobby Wagner before Russell Wilson?

Can we have one thread that doesn't bring up Doug Flutie?

Stills contract ended when the season ended. He can sign anywhere, so yes, we could re-sign him if we let Smoke go.

Maybe because Eichel has played 6-8 games less than the rest of the league.
