Integrity28 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Quote Karlos Dansby - LB - Free Agent Browns released ILB Karlos Dansby. 34-year-old Dansby is happy with the move, as he knew he didn't have a chance at winning with the rebuilding Browns. The new regime seems to be tearing it all down and starting from scratch. Dansby's play slipped in 2015, but he's still a quality starter. He graded out as Pro Football Focus' No. 3 inside linebacker in coverage and is a known playmaker. Dansby will be looking for a contender. The Browns save $3.5 million against the cap with the move. Run, don't walk, to sign this beast. He'd be a perfect addition to this defense (given the shortage of ILB talent) and he knows the scheme from Arizona, I'm assuming.

KRL Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 He's 34 going on 35 BUT I've got to give him credit he's still VERY productive: http://espn.go.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/5558/karlos-dansby And he had a great year under Bowles in 2013 for ARZ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRy56 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 If the price is right and he can still produce then I would give him a look... but holy cow do we have some old players! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
carlito1171 Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 I havent seen much of Dansby over the past few years, not sure how much he has left in the tank. This is the kind of signing I would make closer to TC...after the draft if we can't land a ILB. I'm not opposed to bringing him in here tho Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, we should cut Marshall, Decker, Revis Harris and Mangold ASAP so we can be "younger." It's not about having talent, it's about having youth. Right?

Integrity28 Posted March 16, 2016 Author Share Posted March 16, 2016 Getting younger doesn't happen overnight. Especially when you only have 15 players out of 33 picks made from the last 4 drafts on the roster... and only 5 of them are starters, and it's arguable as to whether or not they should be. In the meantime, we need to draft youth and sign good veterans to 1.) helps us be competitive now, which we can be, and 2.) gives us time to develop this "youth movement" because part of why our draft picks wash out so often is that we ask too much of them, too soon.

I have no problem with a 1 year 30+ guy at 3 mil. I do not see that as "getting older" Pace has been fairly productive for us. If a guy can play, AND stay healthy, so be it.

Great post. Our draft record has been beyond Piss poor over the last decade. Only 2 players left from the 08-12 drafts (Mo and Powell) The '12 draft was a freaking nightmare (Coples, Hill, Davis, Etc) Only Antonio Allen became a decent player out of that class. Using Vet stopgaps until we restack the roster with youth through the draft will be a necessity for now. People complain about the age of some of these guys but none of them are in contracts that are hard to get out of... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Provided they can still play at a high level, there's nothing wrong with having older guys in some spots, until you can replace them with younger players. Just don't sign them to multi-year contracts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But with the cap restraints the Jets are under, and all of the other holes in the roster, they may not be able to accomplish everything this offseason. Sign a capable vet until they can properly address the position. They should still make a push for Erin Henderson, but if he goes somewhere else, they should consider bringing in Dansby on a one year deal.

Dansby can probably be signed to a one year deal (maybe a two year, where he could painlessly be released next year if they wanted to do so). That would allow them to concentrate on QB, O-Line, and a pass rusher early in this draft. If they can find an ILB with a late pick, then great. If not, address it next year.
