Karlos Dansby's wishlist...

[frubulubu]

Karlos Dansby was on Sirius Radio, and spoke about the four teams he would like to play with. San Diego, Miami, Giants, and Washington. He also had an appeareance on another show last week, and said he was intrested in joining Baltimore. sound off...

[Splat]

He wants to play for who ever will pay the man.

cards shall franchise tag him

[cvv84]

cards shall franchise tag him

Cards cannot afford it.

[Splat]

cards shall franchise tag him

They should just pay him or let him walk.

[vidae]

He should just come to KC.

[crossroads]

Is this the part where we call go "come to (insert team name here)!!!!!!!"?

[Smooth Criminal]

I'd love to see him come to Pittsburgh and take over for Farrior, shame i never get what I want when it comes to free agency.

[WinslowBodden]

Browns should get him Peppers and draft Haden... Mmmmmmmmmmmmm

[Grizzlegom]

I wouldn't mind him in Miami

[frubulubu]

cards shall franchise tag him

The Cardinals have tagged him twice. Tagging him again, would force them to pay him in the top 5 players in the league. Thats Manning money, and Arizona can not afford that.

[BeerBaron]

Giants would be interesting....take over for Pierce. Similar sledge hammer kind of linebackers only Dansby is younger and more athletic.

[ElectricEye]

New England please.

[21ST]

We really dont need you but come on to dc

[senormysterioso]

We really dont need you but come on to dc

Orakpo, Dansby, Fletcher-Baker, McIntosh would be a filthy set of linebackers in the 3-4

[tjsunstein]

Is this the part where we call go "come to (insert team name here)!!!!!!!"?

Yes.

I think he stays in Arizona but could see another team overpaying.

Pretty much this, doubtful he gets tagged again. Out of those four I think the Giants and Miami are the most likely, kind of feel he mentioned the Redskins to drive up the price ;)

[fondoffilm]

Supaaaa Chahhhhhhgers

[superman8456]

This reminds me of what TJ Houshmandzadeh tried to pull on the Eagles last year.

[BaLLiN]

isnt he going to be like 29 or 30 by the start of next season? Id rather get a rookie and develop instead of overpaying Dansby

[Grizzlegom]

not really, as big as Dansby is, he isnt much of a thumper and doesnt take on blockers well. He actually plays better in space and is more of a finesse and athletic guy.

[frubulubu]

Last year, before he got slapped the tag, by Arizona. He wanted to join the G-men. It will be a circus of an offseason, with this man.

He turns 29 in November, he still has 3-4 good years in front of him.

Agreed, which is why I think they he would fit well with the Giants. He can do what Pierce has struggled with the last few seasons, matchup with RBs and TEs in space and make plays outside of the tackles.

What did he do?

[fenikz]

Cards cannot afford it.

how so? there is no cap

[cvv84]

how so? there is no cap

Wave goodbye because he isn't coming back.

[thebow305]

I wouldn't mind him in Miami

Nor would I. For the right price.

[superman8456]

What did he do?

Basically, the Eagles were in need of a WR, so he went on a radio show and made a bunch of comments about how he was extremely interested in the Eagles. A few days after finding this out, the Eagles find out that TJ was asking for more money with them than he was with other teams, or something along those lines. I'm trying to find a link.

[Stranger]

His next tag has to be the the average of the top 5 players in the nfl. Probably 15-20 million, depending on what happens with the Manning, Brees and Brady contracts. Doubt the Cardinals pay him that much for one year and the fact that they haven't come to long term deal over the last two years makes me think he wants to test free agency.

[Giantsfan1080]

It's Top 5 for his position not the whole league.

[Stranger]

No. This would have to be his third tag in a row. The rules are top 5 in the league if that happens.

Thanks. Don't remember that, but a bit of a chump move.

You should be happy G-men, hes likely going to NY.

Ahh ok. Thanks for owning me on that one. :)

[Giantsfan1080]

We'll see. I can see Washington offering him more than us.

[coordinator0]

Don't see him going to Baltimore. Just not enough of a need for us to sign him to a big deal which could hinder our ability to re-sign guys like Ngata and Gaither in the future if a cap comes back. We've got plenty of LB's anyways.

[NY+Giants=NYG]

isnt he going to be like 29 or 30 by the start of next season? Id rather get a rookie and develop instead of overpaying Dansby

I agree! If it's an uncapped year I don't want teams all bidding and inflating the price for avg to above avg players. We already have Canty who we gave a lot of money to and he was battling injuries all year. Dansby isn't that young, and I don't want us over paying him. I'd rather build through the draft and let some other team over pay for him.

[thenewfeature06]

I don't really like him on the Ravens I mean sure it would get there defense back to elite but they already have linebackers for the most part. Giants would be my guess and a darkhorse Miami.

[Malaka]

I'd love to have him on the Giants but I doubt it we already signed an FA LB in Boley last year, not to mention the ****** signing of Rocky Bernard and the overpaying of Chris Canty.

[gonzo1105]

He's way overrated for the amount that he is going to get in FA. He is not a LB you should spend big money on. He is a good player in the NFL but he will get a great players money and someone will regret it after a couple years paying him that big amount of money. He is athletic and runs well side to side but he is not a guy who gets off blocks well.

[Addict]

I'm guessing Dansby wants mountains of money, since he's been negotiating with the Cards for two years straight now, and I don't think the Cards would be reluctant to sign him.

[DiG]

god hed be soooo sick in washington. with our transition to a hybrid 3-4 defense he would be a staple inside with mcintosh for a long while. i love fletcher as much as anyone but at 35 next year you cant assume hell be around much longer. good to know we have a chance. if haslett wants him, snyder will get him. as long as its haslett that wants him.

[DoughBoy]

Lol, I bet Albert Haynesworth is so pissed right now that he has to play in a 3-4 (well, not to pissed $$$$).

[Addict]

Lol, I bet Albert Haynesworth is so pissed right now that he has to play in a 3-4 (well, not to pissed $$$$).

I bet he's making the sad face all the way to the bank.

[DiG]

Lol, I bet Albert Haynesworth is so pissed right now that he has to play in a 3-4 (well, not to pissed $$$$).

from what we know, its likely to be a hybrid 3-4 with a mix of formations including some 4-3 looks as well. haynesworth has already come out and said hes happy to play either scheme as DE or NT. well see i guess.

[DoughBoy]

I bet he's making the sad face all the way to the bank.

Yeah, I feel for the guy.

Could of changed his tune, but before he left the Titans he said multiple times he hated the idea of playing in a 3-4 and if he left it was going to be to a team that ran the same style scheme as Jim Schwartz. My guess if you win you won't hear a peep out of him, but if you lose he will be complaining like he was at the end of last year. He would be a great 3-4 tackle or DE if he stays disciplined.

[Addict]

Yeah, I feel for the guy.

it's hard to be a millionaire.

[DoughBoy]

I think he is closer to a billionaire, poor bastard.

Billionaire? Good God. What does a guy need to do to catch a break in this world?

[bigbluedefense]

Dansby is a good player, so I wouldn't mind it, but at the same time, I prefer for us to go young.

I'm indifferent to the move.

[Rosebud]

Pretty much, if we get him great, if not we'll survive.

[bigbluedefense]

Pretty much, if we get him great, if not we'll survive.

If we do get him, I hope it doesn't alter our plans. Like, it shouldn't stop us from going after a MIKE if 1 is available with one of our picks.

Bc you can always move him to SAM and Sintim to full time DE.

So signing Dansby, then getting Dan Williams + Brandon Spikes in the draft, while moving Sintim to full time DE would = epic win in my eyes.

That wouldn't help the run defense, at all.

Dansby, Spikes and Williams wouldn't help our run D?

What makes you say that?

[LonghornsLegend]

Agreed, which is why I think they he would fit well with the Giants. He can do what Pierce has struggled with the last few seasons, matchup with RBs and TEs in space and make plays outside of the tackles.


Yea but that's what Boley does for them, pretty much his entire role. I doubt they can both do that.

[Stranger]

Having two mobile LBs isn't a bad thing, especially if they adopt more of a cover 2 system with Fewell (not sure if they will yet). I don't think Dansby is the ideal fit as a 4-3 MLB but he is an upgrade over what they have at the moment.

I'd still like to add a good LB, but it moves the position clearly behind DT and S in my opinion if we add Dansby. If we address DS and S in rounds one and two and someone like Daryl Washington falls to the third round sure I'd love to add him.

[CC.SD]

sd would never sign him, ridiculous to even have a wishlist out in the open.

[Splat]

Dansby definitely will hit the market (http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/02/19/dansby-definitely-will-hit-the-market/)

[RealityCheck]

I say he goes to MIA.

[Addict]

sd would never sign him, ridiculous to even have a wishlist out in the open.

he already claims it wasn't really a wish list. So yeah he regrets putting it out there.

[senormysterioso]

I haven't heard the interview but from the sounds of it the interviewer asked him would you be interested in playing for San Diego? San Francisco? Washington? New York? And of course Dansby says yes, he's not going to limit his opportunities at this point.

[PACKmanN]

Dansby, Spikes and Williams wouldn't help our run D?

What makes you say that?Playing an OLB at DE. The only DE that can play the run well on that roster is Tuck. IMO, LBers are useless if the d-line can not hold up at the point of attack, and with teams running on the outside of the right side, I don't think Spikes is that type of guy who can go sideline to sideline in the NFL.

Plus, doesn't the Cover 2 require fast LBers? I don't see Spikes as a Cover 2 MLB.

[toddmlazarchick]

Oh ye of little faith in Dan Snyder's pockets

[YotoJets007]

Precisely, Cardinals should tag him as a franchise player. Dansby is a versatile LB who can play all positions in 3-4 and 4-3 schemes. Many teams will want him. Cardinals can get 2 decent picks out of him easily.

Also, final 4 teams (uncapped season rule) can make a trade for him.

Fewell runs anything. dont worry. Just get talent.

[YotoJets007]

nah,,, he can go to your team as all 2nd rounders will be sent to Cardinals. It will be a good deal.

Sintim isn't a true OLB. He was a rushbacker in college. He has the size and the leverage to play the run very well. He's a Woodley type of player.

He can easily move to DE if he wants. He's close to 260 anyway and plays with great leverage, he's already shown he's going to be a good run stuffer for us during his limited snaps.

We have no idea what system Fewell is going to run just yet. It sounds like he won't run Tampa 2, but chances are he will. But if he doesnt, if he keeps the same scheme we had under Spags, Spikes would be a perfect compliment in the middle in that scheme.

Kiwi is also very good against the run. He just lacks as a pass rusher. The only DE we have that doesn't play the run is Osi, and he came off injury. Osi usually plays the run pretty well, but after his injury, looked terrible vs the run last year.

[BaLLiN]

you dont need big players to play the run well, perfect example of this is the colts defense, its all about leverage and technique on the line and the speed and agility only help.

[yourfavestoner]

Severe, severe misconception. The Colts can only play the run if they have one of two things: a healthy Bob Sanders or a lead.

[CC.SD]

Colts D has historically blown chunks against the run.

[UKfan]

Colts D has historically blown chunks against the run.

This is true, outside of 06 with Bob and Booger McFarland, we suck against the run...

[yourfavestoner]

Colts D has historically blown chunks against the run.

They've allowed less than 1900 yards rushing on them in a season just three times in the last ten years.

They've allowed over 2000 yards rushing against them five times in ten years.

The year they won the Superbowl, they gave up 2700 yards rushing. That is just disgusting.

Market for Dansby starting to heat up? (http://sports.yahoo.com/nfl/news?slug=nfp-market_for_dansby_starting_to_heat_up_html-2010225&prov=nfp&type=lgns)

According to a tweet from Greg A. Bedard (http://us.lrd.yahoo.com/_ylt=As7otA7Eo1P5stCg4oO_X6R9t7l_/SIG=11nu29kon/**http%3A//twitter.com/Greg_A_Bedard/status/9603932954) of the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel, the word on the street in Indianapolis is that the Miami Dolphins are willing to pay some coin to land Dansby.

Just don’t expect the Dolphins to be the only players in the market for Dansby’s services.

[21ST]

Oh ye of little faith in Dan Snyder's pockets

we dont even need a LB
