KRL Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 He had 19.5 sacks this year and is a free agent. But I hope Douglas is cautious in going after him because his career production doesn't make sense: https://www.espn.com/nfl/player/stats/_/id/16967/shaquil-barrett Barrett's been healthy throughout his career but has never "sniffed" the kind of year he had in 2019. Was it a fluke??? I would hate to pay him 15-18 million a year then have him go back to 4-5 sacks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CanadaSteve Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER NEVER pay a guy top F/A money who has ONLY put up numbers in his career year. It shows you the effort only comes out when there is money to be made. There is about 1,000 of these examples across all four major sports. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

varjet Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 Farrior has a great contract year with the Jets and then a great career with the Steelers. Shaq is a guy who gets a contract like Jenkins would with escalators for performance targets. He needs to be motivated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Beerfish Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 That would be about as bad as drafting a DT #3 overall who had one year of production on a stacked team that played teams like the citadel and west Arkansas state 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His great contract year was post-Parcells. His success playing ILB with the Steelers was very predictable. Could have been one of the great Jets.

JohnnyLV Posted January 4, 2020 Share Posted January 4, 2020 NO TO ALL OF THEM Why are so many here still in love with the idea of signing these big Day 0 and Day 1 free agents when they literally almost NEVER work out and have gigantic opportunity cost. Havent the last 20 of these guys that Tanny Idzik and Mac signed taught us nothing? We should definitely sign free agents but they should be the medium to low priced guys that we can coach up and add depth and flexibility across the board. I swear that free agency, minimum cap expenditure and the compensatory system are designed to keep the bad teams bad. Stop the madness. To be honest we should be trading and letting marginal high ticket goes go, and signing our own players early. Poole and Jordan Jenkins should have already been extended as an example. Demario should have been extended rather than paying more for Avery. Bell, Moseley, Barr (we tried) all those first day guys should have never been signed. STOP THE MADNESS---NO TO BIG TICKET FREE AGENTS 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of letting LBs go to early, who the hell thought Demario Davis would turn into a 1st team All-Pro? Imagine he was still here and we didn't sign Mosely? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or Dupree who I like a lot. I actually like Clowney as well and I don't think he will command any more money than some of these other guys. I think he's a very good pass rusher despite the low sack numbers this year. I know he's not exactly a popular choice but man I've seen him impact some games in Seattle this year. I think you put on this defense and he gets to 10+ sacks next year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
