I am saying that Malik is not playing well because he is a straight up liability on run defense which is his primary responsibility at DT on early downs. He just isn't getting the job done. As a pass rusher he is decent, but Dareus may end up taking his spot on 3rd downs. Dareus has proven in his past that he is a much better pass rusher than him. 3rd down eventually may end up looking like Fowler Calais Dareus Ngakoue, which is actually an idea Boselli and Prisco brought up on their talk show.

The run defense was fine against Houston and for the first half of the tacks game. After Malik was injured and missed the rest of that game the Jags gave up boatloads of yards. Since then he's been nursing a groin injury and his run defense has fallen off, but he's still better than Day. He should be 100% again next season and IMO it would be a mistake to cut him.

Is he 15 mil. better than Day?  I think Day will only get better and he shines when given the opportunity.  I would take that 9.5 mil. and Bortles 19 mil and go after Cousins if Cousins still looks the part and it still looks like Bortles is not the guy at season end

Of course still a lot of football to be played so I will wait and see how the rest of the season plays out.
