Dante Fowler/Shane Ray, EDGE | Page 31

Heroism · 2018-04-29T15:08:31-07:00

Denver now has a surplus of edge rushers with Von Miller, Shaq Barrett and now Bradley Chubb. There's a chance Shane Ray is available. I wouldn't hesitate to move a player or a future pick for Shane Ray. I hope Lynch gives his buddy Elway a call.

That would be nice, however, at his age (whatever that actually is), he would probably say no to a short term deal.

In this pass happy league, someone is going to give him a multi-year deal with some protection against loss of playing time due to injury.

He may get that offer. But I doubt it would afford him the upside he would prefer. A one-year fully guaranteed deal with a chance to hit the market again in 2020 could allow him to maximize his value AND protect him for injury.

Yeah, That's essentially what the article I read on him the other night said. What got me thinking about this.

I would be very surprised that a long term deal for Ansah would minimize his risk of being released in 2020 should his injury issue pop up again. Regardless, it's all about the guaranteed money.

All eyes on Fowler. Texans Place a Franchise Tag on Clowney. Lawrence is comming up to Next.

Is Fowler a best available fit for us?

Preston smith, Za'Darius Smith, shaq Barrett, Olivier Vernon assuming he is cut.

Only if we think we have some money to put at risk. He will get paid a lot more than his performance would justify.

Better to draft Bosa and roll from there. Fowler would completely upset the salary structure.

Preston Smith is a Sam Linebacker, Fowler is a Leo. Not the same position at all.

Smith moved around a fair bit. Sam mostly but showed enough to be worth a look.

We play base downs only 28% of the time. Preston would be a leo in the nickel which is what we play the majority of the time.

Also Justin Houston is getting released. I'd also want him more than Fowler. He had more sacks in 12 games last year than Fowler has had in any season.
