NewEra Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 He was pretty nonexistent and should be let go, regardless of dead cap. I thought he was a detriment
machine gun kelly Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 The problem guys is sitting in Beane’s seat. He did not value J. Phillips and Shaq’s at what AZ and Miami did so he was in a bind. He has his colleague and friend McD in his ear, we need a pass rusher and now. They went to a guy who was avg. 9.5 sacks a year for the last four years and they knew him. It’s easy in retrospect to say this was a mistake, and maybe they should’ve kept Phillips, but Phillips didn’t exactly have a banner year in 2020 with 2 sacks.
billsfan89 Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 Addision wasn't a tragic signing. But they overpaid for alright production and are looking at eating 4 million to get rid of his 10 million dollar cap hit. Or they will have to ask him to take a pay cut to be a rotational/depth DE.

The reason I was so against it was the opportunity cost. If he is cut they will have paid him just a shade under $14m for one year of mediocre production. That might be the difference now between being able to add a difference maker or not. And he was clearly on the decline in 2019. I said it until I was blue in the face but his sack number was a mirage to some extent. It was unsustainable production from so few pass rush wins. I will now doubt get the "Beane and McDermott obviously disagreed and they know more than you" response. Sure. They know more than me. It doesn't mean they get everything right. My view is that they likely saw the drop in performance in 2019 and attributed it to the Panthers switching to a 3-4 in Rivera's final year and believed that back in a 4-3 they would be able to get him back to his best form. Sadly it didn't work. 1

Lawson and Phillips included. Addison at least had some production vs all the guys who had almost none or ended up hurt non stop. I do not think it is silly. I think the NFL decided to let a lot more go in terms of offensive holding this season which really hurt pass rushers overall and a certain style of pass rusher more than others. Teams just didn’t know what was coming when they signed these rushers. That said, giving that much guaranteed money to Addison at his age was not a good move. That cap space might cost us a free agent this season.
dpberr Posted March 8, 2021 Posted March 8, 2021 I don't understand guys like Dante Fowler. I know..."money" but why leave a team and system where you had the most success in your career? Doesn't that mean anything?

GreggTX Posted March 9, 2021 Posted March 9, 2021 Addison, Jefferson and Butler should be released day 1 of FA. Period. We need to stop overpaying backups on some absurd notion that they are worthy of being starters. None of those guys should be starters.

I thought he was a detriment Addison was only noticed when he tried to collapse in on Kyler Murray vs keeping containment on the edge. We all know how that ended.
