Let me preface this... I don't like the guy. He's dirty as all get out, but he's also ridiculously good. If we were able to find a way to get him signed, it would create one of the more impressive front seven rotations in recent memory. We're talking Bears 85 quality. Picture it in your head... Kyle, Dareus, Suh with Mario on the edge. Absolute nightmare.
Add that to an offense that has McCoy and Watkins, along with either an improved EJ or a steady vet in Cassel, and we are nothing short of a Super Bowl contender. That's right... contender.
I know... the O line. Fully sacrificed if we go this route. That means making due with last years group, plus at best a 2nd rounder since we won't have any more to spend in FA. But the more I think about it, the more I think we can be alright with this group. The unit as a whole was acclimating to each other all last year. Wood regressed as a result, and Glenn struggled because of it as well. If we can get Williams playing even average football and get one of Henderson or Kouandijo to step up, we can be ok there. Especially if Roman gets a TE that can block in the draft. O lines are units, not collections of individuals. There's a way to rise the tide so that all ships rise with it.
Its almost certainly not going to happen, but it should. We're on the verge here... one more big move and we can dance with the big boys.
