- Tagging Rak is not going to cost us any free agents we want. - Rather overpay a homegrown guy than an import. - Still not seeing anyone suggest a legitimate replacement who could step in and provide what Rak does.

1) Because there is still plenty of cap room to sign an additional impact player or two along with solid mid-level guys who can upgrade our OL and DB's. 2) Because it shows a commitment to the team building and cuts down on the "show-me-the-money" attitude in the locker room. I can remember several comments from former players upset that new guys were brought in but the FO let good players walk. (A. Pierce, R.Clark - old, but good, examples). 3) Well, let see if D.Ware hits the market before we talk about plugging him in. Also, Worilds got a transition tag of 9.75M. Signing him away from the Steelers is easily going to match what we tagged Rak with. Worilds was in a contract year and did well. Not quite the same as the consistent "very goodness" of Rak.

In the era of a hard salary cap, overpaying anyone is always a bad idea. If you only measure LB's by sacks, then you will have an incomplete evaluation and you have a player and a defense with holes in it. oh yeah we lareday have that. That is like paying a DB $11M that is great against the pass but is not so great against the run. BIg money should only go to players that are complete. No weakness'. Rak has several. The worst reason I have heard to overpay for Rak? Because you are AFRAID he will sign with someone else. Weak. |

As far as the suspension: Jackson was suspended on March 20 after he violated the league’s policy on substances of abuse. He said he took a medication containing codeine that was not prescribed to him to deal with a toothache near the end of last season. Jackson's been with us awhile with no other incidents, right? I believe he'll be more like Trent Williams, not Fred Davis, and has found a niche in our 3-4 where we can let Rak go if needed, and upgrade other positions. |

Re: Current 2014 Free Agents
Would signing D.Ware be any cheaper than signing Rak?
