Why not Ryan Clark? Instead of Rolle....

you don’t have to cover T.E.s if you can just knock em out.

;-)

He might not be cheap, he might not be reasonably priced, he might be costly, but he won’t cost $8 million/year. Offer him a 4 year, $15 million deal with a $2.5 million signing bonus and throw in a few performance incentives (I want some INTs, dammit) to bring the contract up to a $20 million value. He only made $2.4 million last year (AFAIK) but he wants to play in Pittsburgh with Polamalu. If we have to go and higher than $4 million before bonuses and guaranteed money, he won’t be worth it but he would still be better bang for the buck than Rolle.

KYLE ORTON LIGHTING UP OUR DEFENSE! That’s nightmare-worthy.

Haha I’m not too concerned about that. I’d be for signing Ryan Clark, as long as we don’t break the bank for him. I think he’s a solid guy, but not a game-changer.

Since we play in Denver ONCE every 8 years (Barring Playoffs). The 2012 season should see us playing the AFC and NFC West teams but we played Denver at Mile High in 2008 so the next time we should be here.

Even if we have to travel for that game, you are talking about 1 game in the next 5 seasons unless we play the Broncos in the playoffs and those odds are real slim right now since A.) We’d have to make the playoffs as a wild card unless the Broncos are seed 1 or 2, B.) Denver doesn’t look like they are going to win their division anytime soon, and C.)even if A, and B are eliminated there is a 10% to (at best) a 50% (We’re WC and they are AFC West Champ) we would play in Denver. If we were the #4 seed and Denver was the #3 seed there would only be a 12.5% chance we play Denver in the AFC Championship.

I’ll play those odds. Of note, the AFC West champ has only hosted the AFC East champ three times since the divisions were realigned (2002-03 NYJ @ OAK, 2005-06 NE @ DEN & 2006-07 NE @ SD). That’s 3/8 or 37.5% of the time did the AFC East champ play out west and only once or 12.5% of the time did the AFC East champ play in Denver.

He wants Bart Scott money and while he isn’t worthy of it someone (Dan Snyder) will throw that kind of money his way even if they have to pay him $20 million guaranteed. We, however, will not. Hopefully we can land a big name guy for no more than $5-8 million guaranteed money and less than $4.5 million a year.

I think he would be a good adition, but I am partial to Rolle. But if it doesnt make dollars it doesnt make sense. The FO is smart. They will want to maximize their budget. If they cant get Rolle for the right price (regardlss of being uncapped), then they will get Clark I would hope.

My wish list has Rolle, Dansby, Boldin on it.

Wilfork is not happening, so drafting a NT would be a good move.

But Clark wouldnt be bad, its the fact that he is 30 may put a damper on it. But who knows.
