I don't have any interest in tagging him, to be honest.
$13+ million for an 'anchor' who didn't actually do much to stop the run nor have his pass-rush skills ever come together.
The back made him a physically impressive JAG. That or his development just never did what we'd hoped and teams have adjusted. Maybe he makes a difference in gameplanning that we just don't see but I tell ya, it's not as thought he run game can get much worse. We were selling out to stop the run by the end of the year and putting our guys in real tough spots over the middle.
If they offer him the tag, he'll sign it that day and that will be the starting point for discussions. I don't think the market will support that kind of scratch for him and woe be the team that pays it to him. We rode that guy like a rented mule; I worry that we've seen the best he has to give.
