Defensive Tackle Options Revisited

[jramsey4]

yeah, I'm sure Stewart is real tempting too.......he was always hurt at Oregon, was banged up last year, and can't get on the field right now.

Yeah who would want a guy with 10 tds as a #2 back last year for a guy that doesn't fit your scheme. Silly rabbit Trix are for kids.

[jramsey4]

I'd trade Stewart for Dorsey...KC needs a RB. A quality DT is more valuable (especially to the Panthers right now) than a backup RB.

I think Stewart has more value (and a cheaper contract) so they would have to give up more then just Dorsey.

Stewart is productive.....but his injuries are a concern. We couldn't get his real value right now.

Correct. Changing or recently changed (I think the Browns did it last year).

There's talk of the Jaguars doing it after hiring Mel Tucker as their DC (he's a 3-4 guy) but I don't know that there's been an official statement yet. From what I've read, they might just use some 3-4 looks but stick with a base 4-3.

If they go heavy that way, Derek Landri could be an odd man out.

If Marty Hurney gets spotted at a Jags game this week... :sosp:

3 of the 4 have a QB up for grabs, too. Just sayin'

Maybe hes knocking out two positions of need with one stone. The more I hear about Williams the more I want him in a Panthers uniform. He is my favorite by far option at DT that I have heard because of one thing he has shown that he can play DT in a 4-3. He tore it up with the packers getting into the backfield early and often.

We are talking about Dorsey. He didn't play all that great in the D scheme that he was supposed to be built for in the 4-3. Now they have switched to the 3-4 which he is not suited to play in. I think Stewart still has more value.

well, it would be an easy arguement against Stewart considering how long he has been banged up. I think Stewart has amazing potential and value.....I'm just pretending to be another team.

If your the other team you can keep him I don't even want him that much. Even without the Signing Bonus he still has a huge salary. For his lack of production and his trade price I would much rather have Stewart.

I hosnestly believe that it may be longer than final cut day probably trade deadline, none of the teams mentioned imo have a real need to dump/trade

[Mr. Scot]

Gantt believes it'll be done by week one, but having it take longer is a legit possibility.

I at least hope our FO will sign a huge block absorber for vet min and have the contract with no guaranteed money so we can cut him if someone better is an option.

[Mr. Scot]

Chandler's take (as posted by the bot): Options thin at defensive tackle

And a prior analysis by Gantt: Run stopping questions linger

[Lonestar13]

with the cap/or lack of cap space available, we may have no choice then to dance with who who brought us, if the collective unit of dt's can produce half of what Kemo did, we could be ok, it won't be pretty, there'll probably be some WTF's but it's better to let them learn by being thrown into the fire than holding out for a stop gap jmo

We cut Mccown we have enough space for almost anyone in FA now or a mid-level cut. Add Salley to that list we may have enough for just about anyone that will be cut.

Anyone see any of these guys become avaliable?
