[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 762383, member: 10441"] I don't think it's that simple though. If we just cut him, we take 11 m off the books. Neither Fackerell nor Beigel are going to replace his production or his effort on the field. Biegel may replace the effort, but he needs to grow a bit if he can to be a regular contributor physically. he has high effort. and to sign anybody, it will be at least half of that for an aged vet where you're probably hoping you get another year out of them or so. Not saying it's wrong, but it's not exactly a "fix" either. If we're talking about signing a big FA to replace him with, you're going to be looking at 10+ million per year easily on a longer contract. Not saying that is wrong, but it should be approached with caution. I don't think cutting him frees up enough to go and "get someone" without a really big long term investment. and from what I saw last year, I think he could be an 8-12 sack guy again. He still plays with high effort and I think he is capable of more if used right. If Matthews gets around that 10 sack range for us this year, I'd say he was worth it compared to what we'd have to sign someone else at to replace him and get that production. Looking at a guy like Fackerell and saying, well he had x amount of sacks in so many snaps and costs so much less isn't giving the entire picture because Matthews IS 10x's the player he is, even without the sack numbers. So while I wouldn't sign Matthews to 11M to play this year, I think there is a decent chance we get good enough production from him that it will be worth it enough in the end. Replacing him will be tough and I do want to see what a new coordinator can do. I don't think any of those guys up front were used to their strengths last year. at least not very often. [/QUOTE]
