If this wasn't such an outstanding draft at the defensive tackle position, I would support this type of signing.

It’s a tough decision because free agency is on Monday and the draft isn’t for 6 weeks, and you don’t know how the board will fall.
It’s a matter of where do you want to allocate money
In this draft Grier must pick three starters to fill some of the many holes
Agreed, its getting pretty ridiculous with these injury comments.
But are you using 13 or 48 on one? I'd prefer not to.
Dan Wilkinson ... apparently it's 2006.
But we couldn't pay Wilkins the money. And Wilkins was never as great as Allen was.
Allen's not going to get anything close to what CW got so its not a fair comparison.
Pass on Allen. Throwing money at guys who aren't the future would be criminally stupid for this organization.
If they don't address the position in this deep DT draft -- also stupid -- and he's still sitting there in the 2nd wave of FA with a much cheaper price tag ... then maybe but still not likely.

It’s a good point about our future
Unfortunately we have a regime on the hot seat and have to win this year.
Us fans lose
Its easy to see it from both perspectives. At the end of the day it really depends on his asking price.
They can do both and be smart about it. They can still win with a Campbell re-sign and a good draft pick or 2.
Doesn't have to be 1 or the other ... I just hope they know that and don't go spending more $ they don't have on stopgaps.
Not a great corner draft or FA class. It boggles the mind that Fuller didn't have some trade value and a dead cap hit was the preferred route. I feel like a decent IDL could've been had with a swap. Still waiting for that one to make sense.

He could be an option but at the same time this is a deep DT draft class so we could get a good player on a rookie deal so we need to keep that in mind

at least 5 of them will be at or beyond him outside of anything odd happening.
There are at least 8-10 that are impressive.
Graham
Harmon
Grant
Walker
Williams
He'll cost a lot and play 10 games a years. Grier is already on the phone I'm sure.
