I was expecting around 3yrs and $12-14M.

 

Quote:To be fair, people probably said the same thing about Bennett before signing with SEA

 

Well, he was part of the rotation. Bennett has the most snaps, but because of rotation I don't think we really had "starters" on the DL last season.

 

Percentage of defensive snaps, according to sportingcharts.

 

Bennett 57,4%

Clemons 54,5%

Avril 53,2%

Mebane 51,1%

McDonald 51,0%

McDaniel 50,6%

Bryant 46,2%

 

 

Quote:Clemons had 11+ sacks in 2010, 2011, and 2012 before tearing his ACL and coming on strong at the end of last year and into the playoffs. Clemons is older, but there is no reason to think he can't be an impact pass rusher on this team. His best years came under Gus as well. His snaps also decreased last year with Bennett and co. coming in.

 

As you can see above, Clemons only played 54,5% of defensive snaps last season. Before his injury in 2012 he played around 90%. If you get him around 60-70% snaps, he will be good.
