Re: The re-sign Orakpo thread
If Orakpo walks, replacing him in 2014 would be a team effort. It wouldn't just be one guy. It would be Rob Jackson, Brandon Jenkins, and someone else off the FA market in a Darryl Tapp role.
Ultimately, they would have to replace him in the draft. You can't win without pass rushers in this league, and if you're unwilling to pay the premium for a pass rusher that everyone else is paying, then you have to use the draft to find the next Orakpo. We will not be able to do that in 2014.

Re: The re-sign Orakpo thread
Looks like we'll have the cash to hook him up with a pretty fat signing bonus. Obviously a priority.
I do think we need to address the secondary and o-line... but it worries me because we're going to have to over-pay to bring in mediocre talent. That, unfortunately, is not a winning formula. Part of the reason I think we need to replace Shanahan with a players coach (likeable, respected amongst the league). When you suck, and you don't make changes... what incentive other than cash is there to join the skins?

Re: The re-sign Orakpo thread
What is the likelihood of the Skins putting the non exclusive franchise tag on Orakpo? The Skins would only have to offer him 120% of this years salary and be given the choice to match any offer another team made. Plus if he did leave the Skins would get 2 first round draft picks.

Re: The re-sign Orakpo thread
Its about 11 million dollars. Or 1/3 of the cap room from what I heard on the radio today.

If you put the exclusive franchise tag on him he gets the average of the top 5 LBs, that is about $10-11 million. But the non exclusive FT is the lower of that sum or 120% of his 2012 salary, which would be about 6 million. But other in that case other teams can offer him a contract and then the Skins are given the choice to match any offer. If they choose to not match the offer, they would get 2 first round picks as compensation.(in 2015 and 2016)

Orakpo and Kerrigans primary role is containment under this defense. Only on obvious passing downs do Orakpo and Kerrigan get to rush. We rarely see tackles for loss because their first move is to stand up the offensive tackle to fill lanes. You don't pay franchise tag money for a guy to do that. We can pay Rob Jackson the Vet Minimum to do it. Now if they want to play him like Indy does Robert Mathis, Then pay the man but otherwise it's a waste of a supremely talented player.

Re: The re-sign Orakpo thread
Wouldn't over pay him, if a team wants him bad enough to overpay then adios. He has had a decent season, but I want him to have an impact in big games and in big situations during games.

Yeah he never seems to have a huge game early on in seasons when games are really on the line, it's nice his last 5 games but where is the consistency
