Not that New Orleans needs Kiko, but also consider the cap savings. Biegel has quietly been a solid player this year. Now let's make this clear we DO need an upgrade over him, but there is no shame in having him as a contributor on the defense. It's just not good when he is your most consistent edge player
 
I mean Biegel could of been on IR all year and it would of been a solid trade for the cap savings alone.

Was a good find by our personnel guys, who highlighted him during our preseason game vs. the Saints. Been one of the several nice surprises on our defense this year.

Wow, Grier is such a bad GM. Can't properly evaluate players for sh*t.
 
FYI he is also a RFA in 2020. Being a 4th rounder and not a UDFA makes this an easy decision to go with the original tender and a roughly $2 million salary in 2020. If someone offers him a deal we would have first rights to match and if we do not we would receive a 4th rounder in return.

Guess I wouldn't be shocked to see an extension here as well but personally I would tender him and then do the draft and see where I am at after.

Considering that it was a straight up exchange of players, seems it was a steal to me. Biegel can certainly pressure and cover better. Appears to be a better athlete and 3 years younger, too. Big contributor on ST.

Agreed. And he'd be worth that much just for his ST and depth value long term, I think.

Saw that on Twitter last night. Good pick up to offload his contract, bring in some youth. I think Biegel can be an even better player if we get a very talented OLB/DE applying a lot of pressure opposite side.

I may be a minority, but though he can be upgraded, he's not on my list of MUST upgrades. 2nd tier maybe. FA and draft will be fun to watch.
 
Another of the youngish type players [26 so still has perhaps approx 5 more seasons] that has been brought in aiming to prove they belong in this league. Boehm, Needham 2 others off the top. At worst he is cheap and provides depth and S/T. At best a handy starter but an upgrade may be drafted and most importantly wants to be part of the team and play a role where's Kiko didn't.
