I don't see why they don't just allow teams to talk with Free agents after the Super bowl, or the Pro Bowl even. You can still set it up when they can't sign until a specific date, but we all know he is going to be a free agent.
If true that we will overspend like this, what is the next step to help with pass rush? I don't think we can just hope that Ellis or Dorsey will fall. What DT's out there in FA can help who are not franchised? I'm not sold on Balmer.
There's ones that can help, but not enough for anyone around here to be excited about them. They would be guys who could start for only half the teams in the league or less.
Are only shot at big time DTs would be Rogers or Williams in a trade or Dorsey or Ellis in the draft.
