bigjmw84 Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 He is a top 7 DT in football, but he will be 31 in December. I have a feeling he has a 3 yr window of good production, but how much is too much to offer? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest King Jigsaw Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I'd be cool with a 3 year deal that averages around 5 per. However if we could pay that money to Linval Joseph or Arthur Jones instead, I'd be all over it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigjmw84 Posted March 6, 2014 Author Share Posted March 6, 2014 I would love Starks and Joseph Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jazzyburrell Posted March 6, 2014 Share Posted March 6, 2014 I think there are enough DT's available to let the market set the cost. If we jump out there, we will find ourselves in the 7-9M range. If we can stay in the 4-6M, we can probably afford Tyson Jackson as well. those two would be better than ANYONE we had last year.I think Jackson has been miscast his whole career in the KC 3-4 defenses (see Glen Dorsey's success when he left last year). Jackson as a DT will be a beast. Big enough and fast enough to whip guards, he was never going to bend a corner and 3-4 DE's MAIN job is to hold blockers!

blizzard_falcon Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Starks is the #2 DT on my wish list, behind Joseph. Really hoping we get 1 of those 2 guys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 4 years/24M. A little heavy on the 4th year, which he likely wont see.IMO Starks is better thn Joseph. Only thing is Joseph is 45 years younger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hudson Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 if raji signs that 4 mil offer i cant see anyone going over 6 mil, theres a trend going on right now that nobody wants to pay run stuffers alot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1989Fan Posted March 8, 2014 Share Posted March 8, 2014 Yeah, but Raji is about the 6-8th best DT in free agency. He is vastly overrated, hence GB offering a one year prove it deal.I agree there arent any DTs that should surpass 6mm. Melton and Starks are the best two tackles, but neither will get huge deals due to age or injury. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
