[QUOTE="GreenBaySlacker, post: 1092259, member: 9780"] I started on the idea of just salvaging a 4th round pick in a trade. Bit then I realized what we paid for a guy like Parsons. Who is obviously at a different level. But at the same high value position. The pros: Gary is still young with lots of years left To play, and two years left on this current deal, which gives teams time to play him a while before extending him of they want. He has a decent injury history and shown streaks of elite production. (Let's not talk about the last 8 games) His salary is relatively high, but on par with above average players of his position. A DC who watched Gary from college National championship years, through the blue chip grade in the draft. The game tape to watch in the NFL.... I suspect a DC would think Gary would flourish in their system? Which could be accurate considering the production he had when Parsons was in there.... Gary was cleaning up.... A team like Seattle might just allow Gary to evolve into that run stuffing, 15 sack a year DE, he was prospected to be. Now consider GB, having Gary, and LVN already at the position.... Having just resigned out star DT. And sitting on minimal free cap space. Traded TWO unknown first round picks. Our star DT meaning we absorb a huge chunk of dead cap space. An additional $49 million a year for 4 years in salary..... .....all to upgrade a DE position from borderline pro bowl to elite 1st team all pro? That tells me, the value of production at that DE position. Gary could be had for one known late 1st round pick, and, with a 2 year extension, less than half the cost $ wise, as parsons gets.... I don't want to under value Gary. I think a team would be lucky to have Gary instead of a unproven project late 1st round DE. Especially if a team like Seattle has the cap space, and is built to win now.... And picking 31st or 32nd overall. [/QUOTE]
