I would love to get him. We could just use him as a situational pass rusher and we wont have to commit to him long term so we wont have to worry about the cap since we got plenty of space for the time being.
This is my thought on the matter as well. I would rather have Mike Brown though, but Sharper is at least better than anything we have. I really would have liked looking at Dawkins.
Pioli must have had this worked out before he left. Vrabel and Cassell for a 2nd rounder? There would have been a dozen teams willing to give u0p more than that for Cassell alone.
It sounds like some people are looking too far into this. I dont think this guy is expected to be a huge difference maker. We know what we had in St CLair and this guy is replacing that role with a potentially higher ceiling.
Signing Brooks wouldnt be that expensive and he already knows our system and coaches. We have a decent amount of money and I cant see us going crazy in FA on top tier guys. Looking at guys like Brooks/Galloway can give us decent improvement for not too much money.
Theres not a chance the Bears would even want him and even if they did theres no way he would come back here unless they threw an unreasonable amount of money at him, which they wont.
He is pretty much identical to Grossman skill set wise, except he doesnt know the offense. I like him, I really liked him coming out of college but he isnt an upgrade over anything we have.
