Isaiah Simmons and the 5th year option

[football karma]

If I look at what we drafted, I feel Ojulari, Stills, and Pappoe all scream 4-3.

the Eagles ran a 4-3 last year

Gannon learned under Mike Zimmer in Minnesota who ran a 4-3

But you think they move Ojulari to off ball though right? You think we go full Reddick again? I don't see it.

Philly put Reddick at SAM in base packages and then DE in sub packages. I expect the Cardinals to do the same this year with Ojulari.

 

[Ronin]

Nope. He gone.

Its the right decision.

 

[unseenaz]

His athleticism is gonna play well in the XFL

 

[Phrazbit]

This front office has shown some real aggression in free agency. We need the cap space. Gotta make sure our practice squad is as good as our starters.

Wool sharpens wool.

 

[Vacard]

Another Keim Bust??! He’ll be Reddick on another team.

Simmons would make a great gunner on ST.

 

[Carolinacacti]

Simmons should have hit the weights and put on weight and muscle. Instead he did squat

 

[Brian in Mesa]

Not surprised. Better to pay a little more if he shows up this season than to be tied to him for a couple of years and have no light go off.

I dislike it, but we'll see how it goes. I have a feeling he's going to blow up either here this season and then feel slighted, refusing to re-sign, or next year for another team that's going to use him right and get a hell of a bargain.

Totally agree, I think this is a big mistake.

 

[WisconsinCard]

My guess is they were waiting to see if any moves were made with him or budda and who they got in the draft. Not getting picked up now. Only positive I can come up with is we will get a hell of a comp pick when he blows up and gets a big deal after next year.

Do you still figure into the comp formula if your fifth year option was not exercised? I do not remember??

 

[football karma]

it seems like none of the run and chase LBs are getting their options picked up:

Kenneth Murray of the Chargers, Patrick Queen of the Ravens --

even the guys who did have options picked up: Tremaine Edmunds of the Bills and Devin White of the Bucs -- no long term deals (yet) from the drafting team

doesnt count as a lost FA

But going squats add muscle!

So his legs are more muscular?

It’s a Keim bust in a sense that there was never an agreed upon way to use him. But Vance did him no favors by messing with his head

It just a bad idea to use a high 1st round pick on an ILB 9/10 times.

 

[Dayman]

Keim's run of Simmons>Collins>Hollywood was a master class on how to not get value out of your first round picks.

Squats are good too.

 

[AZCB34]

And Simmons did himself no favors by playing like complete crap in 98.461% of the snaps he played.

That's some pretty exact math.
