I think that's too much, and I doubt he gets it. Especially the guaranteed figure. This guy has a microfracture in his past, and while I really like him and included him in my first mock, I planned to scratch him from the next one. That was before I read this.

 

Let's say he gets what he's asking for, this is what it might look like: Signing bonus, $6m, first two years fully guaranteed, third year partially guaranteed

I can't take that ride.

And I want Sofia Vergara as my mistress. More power to him if he can actually land a contact like that., but is don't see it.

His microfracture surgery turned me off anyway

[Indeee]

he also wants to play in a 4-3 system

Hey Brandon http://youtu.be/qPr-xsQvhgw

[John Dee]

i really like dude... but not THAT much...   

 

he will come back down to Earth... when the cash starts getting tossed around..   ...  or doesn't..

I like him but not at the price considering I think we have a shot to get Dante Fowler in the draft who will come cheaper and just as good or better in the long term

Do you think he could fall to 29 or think we would need to trade up? He is one of my favorite first round prospects.

We won't come within 15 picks of Fowler.

Think the Colts have a better shot at Beasley, due to size concerns, than Fowler. Although Beasley is unlikely too.

I would absolutely love it if we somehow got Beasley. I think he's going to be special. Your right, people worry about his size. I guess they don't consider guys like Mathis, Dumervil, or Miller.

The sad thing is, some stupid team like Oakland will actually give him 30 million. I know Graham was pretty productive last season, but he wasn't anything special by any means. He's never lived up to his potential whatsoever. To me he's a very good backup, and that's if he produces like he did this past season. IMO, he isn't going to come out and get 12 sacks. I'm just not fan of guys like Graham, unless they come cheap as a backup. To his credit though, I do think he'd do better in a 4-3.

Well peace Brandon

I can hope a pass rusher with great potential falls to 29 until it don't happen...However unrealistic it is
