I think it would be more of a lose/lose.
We know for a fact that our costs are going up in future years due to extending and resigning our stars... and that we are probably going to be forced to let some of them walk.
Taking on a one year rental on a DT for 15.5m in cash this year would utterly wipe out our remaining cap space and hamstring our ability to keep other... younger players.
Even if Washington were willing to eat half of that 15.5m, we'd be left with a 30 year old DT slated to make 17m in 2025 when Sieler works for 10m/year.
We'd be renting an older player for one year and likely pissing off Sieler in the process. Remember how Hoard acted when we brought in a CB who made more than she did?
It's horrible economics and the type of move you make when your QB is 39 years old.
I'm pretty sure that Grier is smarter than that.
I’m not sure what Sieler has to do with anything. Miami is switching to a 3-4. Sieler would play one of the end positions while Allen would play the other end and tart in middle. When you want to rush from a 4-3 you move Sieler and Allen inside Chubb and Chop on the ends with Phillips and Barrett/Kamara rushing standing up. Either way there will be no shortage of a 300 pound pass rusher along with Sieler.
Everyone wanted to pay Wilkins but you dont want to pay Allen who’s a better pass rusher at a substantial discount over what Wilkins would have cost. Allen just turned 29, Wilkins turns 29 in December, they are only a few months apart as well since you threw out the 30 year old remark.
