Suggs has also openly stated he would give Baltimore a hometown discount.

Good points on Suggs... i know he's not proven in the 4-3 system but you just look at the guy being a beast figure he'll be pretty good wherever he lines up, sort of how people view Jason Taylor but i think Suggs is much stronger against the run and an overall better fit for our system. If Marcus is on his way out for sure I'd prefer cutting Taylor and bringing in Suggs over letting Taylor "roam" all over as a OLB. Dansby could command a higher payday having played in the SB.
... we're going to have to dish out some major dough to upgrade the position through FA and i would just feel more confident w/ Suggs. A year younger and plays in a way tougher division than Dansby.
