When they have you sign a one year prove it deal they have to agree to pay a little extra to keep you from moving to a team for multiple years.
I assume the new DC knows LF pretty well...if he's good with it so am I...I watch a lot of Bear games since my wife is a fan...when he WANTS to he can wreak havoc, but he can also disappear....so, I'm sure the 1 year deal is a prove it towards a longer deal...
holy excrement, those theivin' bastids!

He seems to be more well-rounded than Fowler, especially against the run. If Matthews sticks around that makes 3 versatile OLBs on the roster. Possibly 4 with Patrick.
A good game to play if you ask me. While I liked all three of the big names we have lost in FA so far, none of those guys were the types of cornerstones you build around (e.g., AD and Ramsey). You lock up the cornerstones, and if the other guys get too expensive, you let them walk and reap the comp picks.
And we'll get a 3rd rd pick. Sounds good.
It would be worse if he sucks and we wasted $10mil.
Check out Floyd and then compare to Fowler before he came to us - almost identical. I'm so stoked about this move.
To be fair he had the benefit of playing opposite Khalil Mack and had Akiem Hicks in the middle and it didn't do much for him. He was the fifth least double teamed EDGE player last year with Chicago* and didn't produce the numbers you hoped with getting so many one on ones.
*through 14 weeks.
What's interesting is that his best seasons came before Mack got there.
This is an outstanding signing IMO.
I get the whole potential thing. But 10 Million for a guy that has very poor production is idiotic. Meanwhile you let NRC go for less than 4m.
geez Louise.
geez Louise.
Good. He's a versatile player who won't cost us a comp pick.
Within reason I agree. Exceptions being attracting outside FAs... When you can get a top player for whom you have zero concerns with his compete level once he gets paid. In those situations sign him.
Play the game right and you can give yourself a little more wiggle room wrt whiffing on a high pick here and there. Or trading them away lol.
28 years old in September. 11.5 sacks in the last three years on 2274 snaps. Not sure how high that ceiling goes....
