Would You Overpay for Suh?
How do you qualify the value of a player that makes everyone around him better? He might be worth $12-15 just on his own but when you factor in the improvements of everyone around him then what's he worth?
We invested a lot in Rankins and Jordan, suddenly they can't be double teamed. They are worth even more. We just gave a middle linebacker a pretty big contract, he's going to be allowed to roam freely. Look at what our secondary was last year, now they'll have to cover for less time and we'll have to blitz less thanks to our front 4 getting pressure on their own.
Just from the buzz alone Mathieu might want to sign at a discount. He had a down year last year and is still plenty young, a short term contract might be the right move for him. Then imagine the possibilities if a pass rusher like Davenport is the BPA.
