I would have made it co-defensive player of the week with Darius Williams with an honorable mention to Jalon and AD only because you don't see any stats for those two.
Lewis is next years candidate.How to obtain a Premium Edge Rusher via "The Donald Effect".
Step 1: Give out one year deal to disgruntled (but fast) edge rusher in their contract year.
Step 2: Edge Rusher makes most of "second chance" and dominates.
Step 3: Pick up 2nd or 3rd Round Comp Pick after getting out bid for player following free agency.
Step 4: Repeat.
Who are next year's candidates?
He isn’t a free agent from another team. We want to know who are the underwhelming low salary free agent edge rusher who wants to show what he can do for next year.Lewis is next years candidate.
I’m saying we don’t need a free agent to take up salary cap to get sacks at the olb position. Lewis is in house and cheaper and can do it.He isn’t a free agent from another team.

So far Fowler, then Floyd then ???
In fact, do any of them have a last name that starts with an F.

Absolutely it is and it would be nice to have Floyd back next year the way he's playing. The question was what vet do we sign in the off season to get sacks behind AD. My comment was simply we don't need one we have a young guy to not only eat up those sacks but potentially create his own making it more difficult for teams to double and triple team AD all the time. Apologies I thought my point was obvious that we don't need a vet next year that's what Lewis was drafted for, to be a long term solution at that spot and making our defense much better.But it's nice having both Lewis AND Floyd right now at the same time.
Dante Fowler Jr. signed a 3 year, $45,000,000 contract with the Atlanta Falcons, including a $14,000,000 signing bonus, $29,000,000 guaranteed, and an average annual salary of $15,000,000.
Floyd is on a one year deal for $10,000,000.
Floyd is having a killer year and Fowler has crashed back to earth.
This whole line of thought is making me realize Donald is worth every penny.

Yeah big contracts are scary for teams for a good reason. So many players put their feet up once they get paid, lose that edge, whatever you want to call it and it's not just in the NFL. It's a human nature thing.This whole line of thought is making me realize Donald is worth every penny.
