    Nay. We do not need more DEs and he wants more than he is worth.

    Considering his age and demands, no. Not to mention, as GHost said, DE is not a major weakness especially on the pass rush.

    No.

    He only wants a new contract because his wife got everything in their divorce.

    I'd take Strahan over Kelsay any day. If we didn't completely overpay Kelsay, it would be an autotmatic Yes.

    Yup. He's no worse against the run than Kelsay or Denney. Besides, we rotate our DE's from run/pass situations as it is so I don't see why that would be a huge issue.

    Our D depends on the front 4 getting to the passer and our DT's sure as hell can't do it.

    He had 3 sacks last year and can't stay healthy anymore. I would rather have Denney/Schobel on passing downs.

    Doc, I've never thought of you as a homer before, but Denney over Strahan? That's crazy.

    Schobel over Strahan at this point in their careers- I would agree with that. But not Denney.

    Re: Would you go after Strahan ?

    For now AND the future - definetly Denney. In his prime, Strahan no question.

    But Strahan is 35, has injury issues and wants big money.

    When he is on the field, he might be better. But Denney is likely to play 16 games and does not want more than 4 million a year.

    His value is greater than Strahan's.

    Re: Would you go after Strahan ?

    he's on the wrong side of 30 and he wants to paid like he can still get 20 sacks a season.

    He doesn't fit the Bills need nor is he young enough to be around when we finally make our serious push as a superbowl contender in the next year or 2

    Not at all, the man doesn't even know if he wants to play anymore! Why would this even be a conversation? Our DE's were not the problem last year...

    look at DraftBoy's analysis on runs to the outside. Not that Strahan would help tremendously in that regard, but EVERYONE on the D was part of the problem last year.

    Strahan sucks against the run, and I was more than pleased with the DEs numbers against passing situations last year. I try to not jump on you like everybody else does so much around here Op, but you make it really damn hard sometimes. It's like it literally causes you pain to say anything remotely positive about this team.

    Well, I think we paid way too much for Kelsay and that both him and Denney are nothing better than average. I know Strahan's up there in years, but when I see people saying they'd rather have the same mediocrity that we've had for years over a player like Strahan, it just drives me insane.

    I think the point is that we feel Strahan is now mediocre (at best) now too.

    If mediocre is the only choice, give me young and mediocre (and cheaper) over old, mediocre and very expensive.

    Re: Would you go after Strahan ?

    I would take him.

    I'm not sold on our secondary, or Kelsay as an elite pass rusher. Best way to combat both of those problems is getting a guy in here that can get the job done.

    Problems though: he will want too much money, he's old, and didn't the front office already toss the bank at Kelsay?

    It might be a good idea, even if to get us by for a year or two, but no way in hell I see it happening
