Just a note, we didn't do so well when Raekwon Davis was out.... ( early season last year )

Hicks can and is a solid starter or great DL to rotate with Davis....Wouldn't mind him as a starter...(but age makes rotating a possibly better option..)

PS. I changed my mind here, I know we still need a C but Tretter not participating with the rest of the OL in practices and only playing on Sundays is a game breaker IMO.....

Greir go get Hicks TODAY !

Do we have the cap space, and does he have any tread left?

Cap is not and issue we got the dough. Think after Ingram we are around 16 mil.

True he isn't like his early days but from what shown last year he has plenty in his tank left especially using him properly. ( Kind of like we used Jason Taylor in his sunset period )
 
If its under $4M with incentives, it makes sense. $5M+ is too much.

The issue isn't whether we have the money, the issue is whether that money is better served as a roll over credit next year.

Its a tough call, either way but we have some big contracts on the books now so the best way to stay out in front of the cap is with as much roll over as possible. At the same time, winning a Super Bowl would be a great objective.
 
I read recently that Hicks wants to sign with a team that has a legitimate chance of making the SB next season because he knows he is coming to the end of his career.

I have no idea if the Dolphins have any interest in signing him but he might not view them as a legitimate SB contender at this time. The only way I could see him signing with the Dolphins is if none of the top tier teams offer him a contract.

I would fully support this, He would be great help against run and help with injury issues when they arise.
 
I have always been a big Hicks fan but i wonder if his body is giving out on him.

He has missed 19 games the last 3 years.

I approved your change without realizing we had a registered member with basically the same username or I would have denied the change. What would you like me to change it to and I will make it happen.
 
My lil brother is a bears fan and so I’ve watched many bears games with him. Hicks always stood out on their good D and would improve our d line no doubt.
I think talk of getting him for 5m per and as a rotational player is way of the mark, he’s a legit starter in the league and will get paid as such, IMO.
If we could get him tho….
