FentayeJones Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Quote Sheil Kapadia @SheilKapadia 1h1 hour ago The great @ClaytonESPN predicts around $9.5M/year for Bruce Irvin on open market: http://es.pn/24BcIGH Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JiveAF Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It depends. If if he's used as a 4-3 OLB he'd be like top three earning wise. If he's used as a pass rusher / DE he gets around what curry is getting. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WOR Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 ive yet to see any media member justify this estimation. Curry got a ton because he's a full time DE now. Irvin isn't a full time DE. He's an LB who rushes on 3rd down. Like said previously,9.5 would make him one of he highest paid LBs in the game. Really? The media is acting like he is a DE. He's not.

Sponge Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 The Jags have a money tree right now. I don't think we can outbid them. He'll have to want to come to Atlanta. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HASHBROWN3 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Media clowns love to interject themselves into everything as if they're smarter than everyone else. In reality they're wrong most of the time while hated by the general populace... LOL at the media nerds. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ATLFalcon36 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I used to be super high on the Irvin tree and thought he was a "must have" this offseason, but looking at his stat line - just something is super underwhelming about him. For such a "pass rushing expert" as he's touted his sack numbers are pretty low. If Irvin is going to cost 9.5 I'd much rather give that money to Trevathan, who I think would help our defense a lot more. Both players have ties to R. Smith or DQ, but I think Trevathan would have a bigger impact than Irvin who has very low tackle and sack numbers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam25 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 9.5 million sure seems like a ton for Irvin. I'd definitely kick tires on him, I'm just not sure outbidding the Jags would end well with for us. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Califalcon0013 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Heck no duded barley gets 6 sacks a season and want close to 10 mil a year? Nah rather spend on Mack a proven elite player Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HASHBROWN3 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Yes please, I'll take Bruce Irvin man. The dude has some nice quicks and is real athletic. He'd get more opportunities to shine on our team as well I believe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RHEC Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 he'll probably end up with Jags. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sandy5prings Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'd rather pay Super Mario because we need a real DE to bookend Beasley as the first priority. Doesn't Irvin play the same role that Beasley does? If we are recreating the Seahawks D template, we need a Michael Bennett type guy before we need another LEO.

No. Irvin plays LB. on third down he moves to Bennetts DE spot, when bennet goes to DT. Beasley plays on the other side. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g-dawg Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I hope Jags give him the money - I think $9.5mm for what you get from Irvin is a very poor investment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JRob215 Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 A lot of people don't realize that Irvin will turn 29 this season. Basically, he is what he is - a decent SLB that can be a situational pass rusher. Not worth even close to $9.5 million. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FentayeJones Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Quote Jason La CanforaVerified account @JasonLaCanfora 9m9 minutes ago NFL execs I know would do cartwheels to land Bruce Irvin anywhere near $9M/year some suggesting FWIW. price will be significantly higher Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoYouSeeWhatHappensLarry Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I wish someone would take the time to figure out how frequently the "player X signs with Team Y because Team Y is coached/coordinated by player X's former coach/coordinator" Its among the laziest free agency narratives out there. That and the "player X is from City Y, I bet he signs there!" are the two worst. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da_Truth Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I'm not too high on Irvin. I think we need someone who can get consistent pressure on the QB. What's the highest amount of sacks has he had in any season? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AndySG Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 I guess it's good that two of the Seahawks' last three DCs want him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
