230 at 6 feet is skinny?

Dude is jacked and can MOVE

then he plays small.  I don't care how fast you are.  If you can't tackle you aren't worth $54 million and 28 million of it up front.  At least if we need to he is affordable trade bait to another team next or the 3 year into the contract.

I mean I'll be annoyed if we pay Bradberry. Not gonna lie. I'm not a fan. But you can talk me into keeping him too. The main issue is coaching with our defense, i think, and Shaq definitely isn't the weak link

not a $54 million link for sure.

Takes one stiff arm from a dude like Guice who is a damn beast and now Shaq can’t tackle?

LOL morons

So friggin stoked

Shaq has been amazing despite the trash takes some have about his performance

If you’re a linebacker and I forget you’re playing the game that’s a problem. I forget Shaq is on the field often, despite him making many good plays on occasion.

Wtf.  I wanted to sign Bradberry above all else.  
 

So much for that continuity in the secondary.

I guess you don't watch him try to make those let me hit you and knock you 5 more yards down the field cause I can't wrap up too.  LOL moron  That is a rookie mistake not a someone who has played 5 years in the NFL.

Omg we resigned Shaq Thompson, not Kelvin Benjamin girl get a grip lol

Guys miss tackles. It’s football. 

It was important to keep him and have someone to take over the defense when Luke is done in 2 years

shaq is low key playing better than luke this year. he can perform in a 3-4 and a 4-3 and plays in both base sets and nickel packages. he's the best pass rusher not on the DL and has no real weaknesses in his game.

13mil a year is a chunk of change but if you're looking to secure a framework of good players on which to rebuild this is a logical way to start.

What is this....logic?

Morale move. Follow up canning the coach with extending a popular player in the locker room. 

I was ok until I read this.  Now I want to punch holes in Hurney's face.

You want Shaq leading your defense in 2 years?  Lord lets hope not.  There is a difference in missing a tackle now an again.  He does it every game.  There was a reason he didn't stay in on 3rd down during his first 3 years on the team.  Lousy cover LB.

This just isn't true

Just another example why this franchise will never achieve sustained success. 
 

giving top $ to a guy who’s never had a pro bowl season worth of production at a position where you already have one of the highest paid players. 
 

Hurney again shows his biggest flaw...which is contract management.
