Sorry guys but I have to add Bess to my keepers. The guy is as good a slot WR as there is in the league and has many good years ahead of him.

This list could very well determine and explain some of the picks we make in this year's draft. Like most in this thread seem to agree on, there are 3 must sign guys on that list, so its fair to expect that some of the FAs and draft pick from this offseason might very well be replacement for the ones that the FO decides to let go...

I used to love visiting your site. You know your stuff, which is refreshing given the Omar and Mando diet we are fed around here.
Your YouTube desk stories were awesome. I hope you have more time for those this season Chris. Glad to see the site again. Welcome back Chris!

I want to try to revive the video aspect--sometimes it's just easier to speak than it is to bang out an article. But I don't really want videos to replace articles, maybe just supplement them. Thanks for following though!

Soliai signed a 2 year $12M deal. With his signing bonus of $3.85 split and his $5,7M salary, he will cost almost $8M this year. Based on his play, and the fact that he is only in on half the snaps, hardly a good deal or, worth re-signing.

I think you are quite mistaken. He's a quality nose tackle.
Is he really on the field for half the snaps? Any evidence behind this. Not being an ass here, just thought it'd be higher than that...

A little more than half, played 627 all season. I don't think that is particularly unusable for a player like him though, and I don't think it's a huge issue considering he's a quality player on the downs he does play. It's all about rotation, keeping guys fresh and having the right personnel for each situation. Soliai does his job and does it well.
Totally agree, major reason why we did so well against the run this year. Wouldnt be surprised if its when we took him out we had trouble against the run...

Yeah but, he's not playing the nose in this scheme. He ranked #50 of all NT/DT's this year. FAR from impressive for $8M.

I do not believe PFF rankings should be taken so literally, especially since that "ranking" is not on a per-snap basis.

It may be 55%, with Odrick moving inside about 25%, and McD, etc making up the difference. Think we could get a bit more for a cap hit of almost $8M?
This is a bit like Long in going by past performance while not considering the cost.

No, it is not. It is based on his beating or getting beat by the player he is facing, and comparing it to all the other NT/DT's doing the same.
They thought much higher of hil last year, and in 2010, doing the same.
What are you basing your opinion on?

Moral of the story: Don't buy any players jersey ever again. Learned this the hard way (tho i did get props for sporting a Lousaka Polite jersey :) )

Sometimes I feel like people should consult me when buying a jersey. I see so many bad decisions...
