Can the GM do it?

Cox and Logan are musts.

I'd like to see Thurmond and Carroll back - they're necessary pieces

I'd like Thornton back because he's good. He should be reasonable to re-sign. Bair is a good role guy but not sure if I want him starting. And Hart can go away.

lol

why is this its own thread

Why not?

Cox is legitimately good. Some of the other guys are pretty good. A lot of them are just serviceable. They were so bad the last few years, that even serviceable looks great. But don't be fooled...most of that crew isn't made up of worldbeaters.

What is Cox going to get guaranteed, $50M?

100% agree on all of this...i will add that there is something to be said for continuity on a defense and understanding the system...for this reason i may slightly overpay for some of the other guys....specifically thurmond...he and jenkins arent necessarily studs but they are the kind of versatile guys who chip covets but who can also play a little and they both are perfect fits for as long as they run this defense

they also still need that classic edge rusher that the offense has to game plan for....graham sucks and they made a mistake cakin him off...the question is does chip believe in a one dimensionbal edge rusher or do his ends/olbs have to be able to drop and do other things

Because apparently mr mds thinks this isn't valid discussion. But he hates sports anyways so it doesn't matter what he says.

And why the lol for Thornton? Is he not a good player? I can't wait to hear how he sucks and of course that's wrong

SunMo · October 30, 2015, 02:41:13 PM

he's fine but he's not anybody you ever care about signing or re-signing

ice grillin you · October 30, 2015, 02:43:14 PM

thornton is ok...doesnt matter if he goes or not....but that wasnt what i was laughing at...i was laughing at your comment...you wrote it like a 9 year old kid was saying it...effin hilarious

PhillyPhreak54 · October 30, 2015, 02:43:43 PM

He is because you know he's relatively young and still in his prime. Letting him go and hoping to replace him is stupid...you have a starting LDE here now. So why let him go?

SunMo · October 30, 2015, 02:59:56 PM

his prime is an average player. take the wild chance you can upgrade that with a 5th round pick

Been waiting for one for years. DE has been a disaster since Jevon Kearse.
