    Think that’s a very fair assessment. The question becomes how much his agent is asking for him on a long term contract. With the way some of these contracts this off-season have been, it might get pricey. 
     

    I mean look at Brian Burns, who I would say is about the production you’re probably going to get if Groot plays 75-90% of the snaps in a season, where you’re getting around 9.5 sacks on the year (for an average). 
     

    That guy just collected 5yr/$150m… Now I’m not saying that’s what Groot will get but the expected play time for him is going to increase this year. If he pans out even similar to Brian Burns stats do you pay him something similar?

     

    Someone will if that happens. Kid is ultra talented at what you said; defending the run and is still relatively raw to football; 6/7 years of playing the position? A lot of potential in him. 

    Burns is a good example. I'd rather extend Groot now than let him hit the open market.  Snap percentage is a interesting point. Groot is mid 50's percentage wise. I wonder if he views it as a bonus as it prolongs his career and keeps him fresh for more effort in his snaps -- or if he thinks it's holding him back from better sack totals and higher value?

    No. That’s insane. I mean, Daquan was playing well for us and I’m glad he’s back and all. He’s a good player. But he was never playing anywhere close to an “All Pro” level. If he was capable of playing like Aaron Donald, Frank Clark, Chris Jones or Justin Madibuke, then he’d be getting $25M-$30M a season like they are. He’s getting $8M (or up to $8M). 

    Far from insane...

     

    He swallows up two blockers and is dominant in the run.  Before he was hurt, started penetrating and impacting the QB. He allows Oliver to be Oliver.

    No brainer. Great move. 

     

    Now that's enough re-signing guys. Let everyone else go, not interested in bringing back anyone else. We need some fresh young faces on the d line and at WR. 

    100% I wonder if Beane has a trade up his sleeve. Still need a #1 edge, #3 DT, couple of safeties, WR 2, RB 2 and I'd like a new kicker.

    The cap is not real cash! It’s not. The cap # is real, but you can spend a lot more cash than that.

    I get it, but eventually you have to make good on what you spend. It's not monopoly money.

    A retooling and shifting of some pieces, but not a rebuild by any means

    By that I mean we need a step up from our younger players and solid performances from unproven places to compete with the top AFC teams.

    Former Green Bay exec Andrew Brandt: "The salary cap is just accounting"

    I have been saying it for years, but I think Andrew Brandt, who was the salary cap guru in Green Bay for a time jointed the Pat McAfee show yesterday to talk salary cap, specifically with the Rams moves and I think this is before the Kupp deal dropped. He does a really excellent job of explaining how so long as you have cash rich owners willing to spend up front the NFL salary cap is not the restriction people think. It's an accounting cap that should not stop good and smart teams from signing players so long as revenues continue to increase.

     

     

    Remember folks - the salary cap is just accounting. 

    Maybe  Morse, Tre, Poyer and others looking for a gig have a different view.

    They’re not gonna draft 11 players he’s going to use some of those pics to trade up into higher rounds

     

    Even with the players that we lost yesterday we wouldn’t be able to give a jersey to 11 new guys in the draft. There is too much talent on this team still

    True, but we keep getting promising players plucked from our PS. This is a good year to use more young players in meaningful roles. We will struggle at first, but like KC, things could come together later in the season when it matters, i.e. Rashee Rice.
