I don’t have access to reviewing game tape and checking all of these next gen stats. But to my eyes and the basic stats I can find he seems to be slightly above average and not worth a huge contract (or let alone keeping over 2 first rounders). He’s tied for 26th in sacks and not even on the first page of PFF DE ratings.
What am I missing or is this another example of Fit/Tepper incompetence?
I like him as a player and seems to be a very good locker room guy. Drafted under the rivera era and I definitely could see him having more success under Ron and the “keep pounding” regime.
That being said, 2 1st round picks on the table ALONG with not having to pay a massive contract…just seems to good to pass up and our idiot GM did. Would rather trade CMC for scraps and DJ for a QB with hopeless weapons around him.
