7 sacks last year.  "up to" is a key phrase in this contract.  I'd like to see the details.

I suspect incentive laden and nothing near $10 mil/yr. He's a backup caliber player.

Commanders must think they can go all the way. That sophomore slump gonna hit hard

Just takes one whack on your running QB 

[MHS831]

Here is what we know:  Morgan was not looking to sign a bunch of JAGs.  He was going for a top Safety and a top Defensive Lineman.  Signing a top CB (Horn), a top S, and he whiffed on a DT (calling DE a DT to avoid confusion). 

S: I think Moehrig will be the qb of the secondary and since S is deep in this draft, the other S may come on day 2 of the draft. 

CB: I think they will slow play the second CB, hoping maybe to get Jackson back on the cheap.

Well, they are unlikely to land anywhere near as good a LT with those draft picks.

It does make some sense even outside a "win now" perspective.

I wish maybe we had focused on a bit more affordable option than Williams. I think maybe we really put all our eggs in that basket.

This is the impression I get. Went all in but not far enough

I like how even by addressing the secondary Morgan also improved the run defense. Moehrig was one of the better run defenders at the safety position last season, so even if we lost out on Williams there was still an effect.

With the Patrick Jones II signing, the depth gets a little better in the EDGE room while still allowing a draft pick. There's also some good DTs still out there to kick the tires on.

I'm hoping we double dip at safety... Get Evero a free safety so that we can let Jaycee cancel out opposing WR1s again.

He is strong vs the run, and at 265, probably will take Wonnum's spot (if they cut Wonnum) basically, he could rotate with Wonnum (another former Viking).  26 years of age--they are pretty much the same player, but Jones has more sacks, Wonnum has more hurries.

They are doing my boy Stroud dirty...

They’ll probably target a younger OT in the upcoming draft. Tunsil was probably getting too expensive for an older vet.

Texans gonna reset the QB market next season...  oooh wee mayne

Patrick jones is good vs the run too.
