Alec Pierce is averaging 28M per year.  He's young, good....but never actually hit free agency.  He re-signed with the team that drafted him.Trey Hendrickson is going to average 28M per year.  He's old and not a great run defender.  Almost any deal would scare me.Tyler Linderbaum 27M, perhaps the gem of this year's class.  Not a bad signing, but I think the Raiders overpaid relative to his skill set.  Odafe Oweh will average 24M.  I admit to not knowing that well.  He's young enough, but his on-paper history worries me.  1st round pick by the Ravens and traded to the Chargers for a 7th and 5th while on his rookie contract, in the same year he logged 10 sacks.  Something doesn't add up here and it isn't immediately good.Our friend, Malik Willis. 22.5M per year.John Franklin-Myers  21M per year.  Older, will turn 30 this season.  Again, not super familiar with him.  If he's a 3-4 DE, he's good with 7 to 8 sacks per year.  If he's a 4-3 end, he's average.  This seems like an over-pay.Boye Mafe, 20M per year.  Young, but doesn't have great production.  2 sacks last year playing 55% of snaps.  Only started 4 games.At that is the list players that average 20M or more per year.  I am legitimately asking, who were the options? I don't disagree.  I think he's probably there, but I get want to wait 4-8 games.  There is risk that he goes off and is healthy the whole year and you pay him more.  Earlier or Later, there is risk either way.Unlikely, but I also wouldn't offer him that now.  Using Pierce as the baseline, he's ~ 28.5M per year and ~84M guaranteed.  I would hope he'd sign for slightly less due to his injury history.</blockquote>
