[QUOTE="OldSchool101, post: 1099590, member: 10086"] I’ve heard some argument elsewhere about wear n tear or age. One good aspect concerning Z is he was barely used across his entire rookie contract. He didn’t pop until the last 4 seasons where his usage skyrockets. What I like about Zaire is he’s a little better than Quay when used downhill. Z forced 23 Sacks, Fumbles and INT combined since 2022. He’s a highly disruptive player. As a comparison to someone we’ve witnessed regularly? Q had 68% of Z snap count, he logged 14 Sacks, Forced Fumbles and INT, so Quay was only slightly behind on a per snap basis %. Summary. History has shown that these (Q vs Z) are very comparable LB’s. Z had substantially higher usage across 2022-2025 (32% higher). Yes Z had more missed Tackles but in reality if you leveled their snap count it was only about 5 missed tackles across each season more. I believe his shorter arms caused some of that. Yet to his credit, he had an extra Sack or FF or INT per season and those kinds even the score for me. Z was slightly higher Disruptive but Q ran slightly cleaner finishing Tackles. For me these 2 LB’s should be very similar $$. Like a $1-2Mil type variance yearly probably favoring Quay due to his raw age being better. Zaire 9.0Mil average; $3.75Mil guaranteed Quay 13.5Mil average; $28Mil guaranteed From my limited research, Brian did a really good job finding an inexpensive version of Quay at a more moderate cost and ability to walk away anytime. I wouldn’t expect Zaire to automatically be better than Quay though, he’s more a best attempt at meeting Quays impact. PS. Zaire is an absolute beast when it comes to staying involved through purely willing himself into each play. He’s in every frame of every play and his effort is unmatched. That’s a trait that’s highly desirable because he’s the definition of rallying to a Tackle. [/QUOTE]
