My only concern with moving on from OV...
IS Wake only has a few more years in him...granted we could get by during that time, but it would be nice to keep OV, Wake and Fede with the idea that Wake won't be here in 2017
This is one of the key points IMO. That and finding strong pass rushers is not so easy -- it's a PREMIUM position and that means it commands premium $$. That's no OVs fault, and you can bet he'll get BIG $$ on the open market -- He's still very young and developing with ALL his best ball in front of him.
I don't understand how so many can just discount him and act as if he's only "OK." The kid is recognized around the league as a legit edge rusher and has done everything RIGHT in Miami (save the little scuffle in Charlotte). He's also a MIAMI product and that means something in the equation.
IMO it's important for the longer term stability of the franchise to find a way to keep players like OV. Bottom line, having a strong dominant DL is gonna cost some $$ one way or another.
That said, I'm not into paying him like a super star -- give him some big incentives on sacks etc. and just do everything possible to keep him. If we're destined to lose him then do everything possible to work out a deal and trade him. But counting on Wake for any length of time is risky IMO.
