He's the type of guy I could definitely see us bringing in. Young at only 27 and he has 36 sacks over 6 seasons. Had a bit of a down year that might ding his value a bit. Has two 8+ sack seasons in his career.

Not a star, but a guy who might be able to compete for a starting spot and would definitely be an upgrade over Wes Horton if nothing else. Would definitely be a valuable signing if we can't hang onto either CJ or Addison.

I would think he'd be a target, but with Gettleman you never know. If it makes too much sense, it almost seems like Gettleman almost never does what one expects in free agency. And even if Getty does show some interest (like was reported on Jared Cook last year), we'll likely lose out on his services.

I don't see that much special about Sheard. I thought he could be a target, but he's a bit smaller than we like (closer to a 3-4 OLB) and honestly, he's not much of an improvement IMHO. If you are going to spend a decent amount of FA money, I'd rather step it up a bit and get a real improvement like a JPP or Berry (not that either won't be franchised/extended before FA opens). I just don't see anything worthwhile about Sheard. I'd rather spend the extra keeping Short and others. Ealy has 14 sacks in 3 years and Sheard has 36 in 6 years and has started 4 times the games as Ealy. Sheard isn't special.

Perhaps you're right about him not being "special," but in 2016 he was better than Ealy from a production standpoint (and Ealy got 44 more snaps). 

I'm not saying we should pay him a great amount of money, and I'm not even sure what his market will really be considering his benching by Belichick, but there may be some value there, especially considering that he'd be returning back to a situation that's mainly 4-3 where he showed good promise when he entered the league. I would bet that he's better in run support also. 

I guess that I've always had a leave-no-stone-unturned mentality. I hate seeing players that could have helped us end somewhere else on (what I consider) the cheap.

Nope. Been a bust in Cleveland. NE helped revitalize his career and he managed to screw it back up. 

 

Nick Perry should be a name to mention. I loved him coming out of USC. Been an OLB for GB but no doubt he can't play 43 DE. He's similar to the rich man Olivier Vernon last off season. 

Give me both Perry and JPP. SB bound.

Not quite true. It was Cleveland's switch in scheme that arguably slowed his progress more than anything. Furthermore, NE didn't really revitalize his career as much as they tried to exploit that which was already promising. PFF was lauding Sheard as a possible breakout candidate before he set foot on the field in Foxborough. I'll give you the fact that he hasn't lived up to expectations in New England, but a change if scenery and a return to an established 4-3 defense may do wonders for the guy.

Definitely interest, especially if there are free agent losses at DE.  I think cap casualties are more likely than free agents though.  Not sure who is going to get cut loose yet obviously, but as an example, Kareem Martin in Arizona is a possible cap casualty with some physical attributes Gettleman looks for.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      Daniel Jeremiah: Panthers prime trade candidate

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
