Big Cat Country writes another glowing review of Tyson Alualu


Quote:1. In the end, they're paying the same amount because you're eating $1.5M in dead money if you cut him. So you're doing quite a bit of work to save oh... $500k on the cap.

 

2. It's not meaningless when you make absurd points like the $2.5M difference in his salary would sway a free agent or not. It doesn't point to the "lack of interest" in fielding a winning team either. What in the world are you talking about? What he'd get from another team is irrelevant. He's still on his rookie contract.

 

3. No, it's roughly the same as all four starting defensive lineman AND one of the primary back ups. No, I don't think that's a bad idea. Marks just got a new contract. Hood got "market price"? So... $4M/year is market price for a back up defensive tackle but NOT a backup defensive end? How does that work, exactly? What is Alualu's market price?

 

4. It has been fixed.
 

1. I'd estimate his market value as $1.5M or less. I certainly could be wrong, but there have been a lot of decent backup DTs who have signed for veteran minimum or close to it these last few years. And before you once again spin the DE claim, any reasonably quick DT could fill the role of run stuffing DE.


 

Saving a million dollars is not worth "quite a bit of work"? I'd be glad to take that low-value $1M off your hands.


 

2. You don't think that $2.5M could make a difference? There is always some amount that could make a difference. I wonder how much more the Jags would have had to offer Mack before Cleveland gave in? Probably a lot more than $2.5M, but every little bit helps.


 

3. Market price is what you have to pay a free agent. Hood's contract was market price. I personally don't think Hood was worth $4M, but that's the price Caldwell needed to pay to outbid other NFL GMs.
