If it's between Canty or Evans give me Canty any day. I really don't care who he played for.

I have to agree here. I like Evens but if the decision stands on a choice between them. Then definatly Canty. The fact that Canty plays with the Cowboys dose'nt matter to me either.

I agree 100% I especially like the fact that if we get Canty, he'll undoubtably be motivated to "stick it" to the cowboys for chosing not to resign him. As JLC pointed out, he's a similar player to Evans, but much more talented and over 4 years younger.

I was surprised JLC mentioned Canty would demand 8M/year in salary. I was thinking something in the 6M/year range would be more than enough to lock him up. However, if we signed him he would instantly become our best D-lineman and probably 2nd or 3rd best player on our defense (behind Fletcher and possibly Hall), so perhaps 8M/year isnt unreasonable.

I think the problem on our team is we are playing high salaries to so many players who dont deserve it (Randy Thomas is probably one of the most overpaid player in the NFL and Portis is right up there with him. Jansen, Moss, Taylor, and Springs are also all grossly overpaid.) As a result, we cant afford to pay the players who DO deserve it and stay under the cap.

randy thomas was worth it before he kept getting hurt :/ It's hard to say moss is overpaid though, especially when randle-el (who's worthless) makes just as much. springs isn't overpaid though, at least not when he's healthy, cause he's a true #1 CB, though his speed is starting to go.
