He profiles as a guy that Gutekunst would want. It would remind me of the moves to sign Za'Darius and Preston back in 2019. Za'Darius had 18.5 sacks through four seasons and Gute paid way more for him than anyone had anticipated (4/66).Preston had 24.5 sacks through four seasons and he was also paid more than the projections (4/52). Their season-high totals were 8.5 and 8.0 respectively. They both went on to be much more productive players in Green Bay.Odeyingbo has 16.5 sacks through four seasons, but the rate is actually right between the Smith's because his rookie season was largely lost to injury. His career high is 8.0.If/when Green Bay gives him a deal for 4/100, people's eyes are going to pop just like they did back in 2019 and I would guess he ends up being worth it. For context, when Za'Darius signed a deal for 16.5 AAV, that was 8.8% of the salary cap in 2019 (188M). 8.8% of the current cap (289M) would be 25.4 AAV. Doubting Gute's draft picks has proved warranted as often as not. Doubting his FA selections typically proves wrong.</blockquote>
