If we got a 3-4 than our LB's would be Orakpo, Fletcher, Dansby, ????(draft pick, chris wilson, FA, or Rocky??)

I like this idea, Dansby and Fletcher in the middle would be a good combination. Orakpo would definitely be on the outside, I am not sure if Rocky is a good OLB in the 3-4, but if it works then that's your LB corps right there.

id absolutely love Karlos Dansby to join the defensive staff.

Fletcher, Dansby, Orakpo... wow

I've wanted Dansby here for three years now...and I think this might finally be the year we get him

McIntosh plays in long yardage situations in all fronts (anything 8+ that's not first and ten). Heavy use of nickel packages where Carter and Orakpo are the ends, and Blades and Fletcher are the backers.

Hmmm. If Rocky bulks up a bit more I see him as a better ILB in the 3-4 than Blades. But the main thing is Dansby doesn't really help us that much unless London is one a year from retirement and the new regime doesn't see starter material in Blades.

But the new regime may want Dansby, plus IF the defense we run this year is a Hybrid 3-4 / 4-3, then we could/should definitley get Dansby because he's a 4-3 SLB, and a 3-4 ILB, kill two birds with one stone. Oh yeah and he's 28 years old, so he's not nearly as old as guys like bruce smith, deion sanders, jason taylor, etc that we have brought in from the past as FA's.

Yeah man I don't mean to say Dansby would be a bad move. He's an upgrade over Rocky. My thinking is he's not a huge upgrade and we've got serious needs elsewhere. Realistically we get just 2 starters from the draft (I hope starting book-end tackles) and maybe a third in a gem RB Shanny develops. All the other needs then have to be addressed in FA.

...personally I think FS is a far greater need than LB this off-season. Landry makes a terrible last line of defense and I doubt Moore can be that guy right now. Some think Berry might fall to us so I guess that would/could fix the FS issue; however I still think a franchise LT is a better value @ 4.

...and if Haslett really does go to a 3-4 regularly we have to make changes on the DL. Basically nothing fits based on the current roster unless we get lucky w/ some guys developing fast. Big Monty hasn't shown shit to be a dominant nose tackle. Unless Jarmon or Lorenzo becomes a stud overnight we don't have a LDE in the 3-4. Finally who knows how Phat Al will respond to a new scheme. I never saw the wisdom in going 3-4 because it potentially requires a lot of roster changes to the defense, when our offense is one of the weakest in the league and needs an infusion of talent regardless of scheme. Shanny/Allen's moves on Haslett and the defense have me worried.

Now there are reports stating than karlos doesn't have a wishlist. I believe that the redskins were metioned to raise his FA value...

Everyone always says they're interested in the Redskins. It's well known that agents often encourage their players to say it to raise their potential value.

But I believe the Redskins are interested, strongly interested, in Dansby this year and Dansby is actually a bit interested in the Redskins.

Don't have anything to base this on really, but I can see Dansby in B&G

With the team's history of doling out ridiculous contracts, who wouldn't be interested in coming here?

Wasn't it L.Coles that said he came to Washington to "get paid?"

Anyway, all that aside, I'd love to have Dansby in B&G.

ESPN insider quotes him from a Sirius radio interview as saying the Chargers, Dolphins, Giants and of course the free-spending Washington Redskins top his wish list.

Cardinals will not place franchise tag on Karlos Dansby, according to team source

The Cardinals are prepared to let linebacker Karlos Dansby test the open market in free agency this year and will not place the franchise tag on him for a third consecutive season, a team source confirmed Thursday.

That does not, however, mean Dansby's days with the franchise are over. The Cardinals will monitor the situation when free-agent offers are allowed to be made and then decide then if they wish to make an offer of their own.

The team appears to be gambling that Dansby won't command as much as a free agent as he would as a franchise player, which could be as much as $16 million guaranteed. If we go 3-4, Jarmon may have to switch to OLB.

Dansby regularly has led the Cardinals in tackles, but this past season produced only one sack, one interception and one forced fumble
.

In a 51-45 wild-card playoff victory over the Packers, however, Dansby was a force. He deflected a pass that led to an interception, caused a fumble and recovered and returned another fumble for the winning score.

Dansby, a second-round draft pick
by the Cardinals in 2004, is said to be eyeing a contract that guarantees him around $30 million. Teams that have been linked to possibly having interest in him and vice versa include the Dolphins, Giants and Colts.

Dansby, who was unavailable for comment, has said on numerous occasions he wouldn't rule out re-signing with the Cardinals.

The Cardinals also are continuing negotiations with coach Ken Whisenhunt concerning a contract extension, although no new information was available Thursday.

$30 million? Maybe not, but he WOULD help the LB position tremendously and allow us to use another draft pick on the O-line since LB would be covered through FA.

If we upgrade the LB corps in free agency, i'd much rather go after Dansby. He's twice the player that Peppers is - and will come at half the cost.
