Fine. Franchise him.

But do not sign him to an extension. Just let him play this year and be prepared to move on next season.

Puh-Lease.

Would be great if we could trade him for something legit, but if Marinelli and Kiffin thinks he can be a really good 4-3 (as Polian mentioned) then keeping him is one less hole we have to fill.

this defense would have been horrific without spencer this year...this scheme is predicated on getting pressure w the front 4...our pass rush sucks with him..it would be horrendous without him

agree...tag and find replacement for next year

Spending money we do not have. Great plan. Jones's democrat party affiliation is showing.

Any defense would be horrible if you consistantly rush three. I'm hoping we trade Spencer. There are plenty of DEs in the draft we can get with second day picks.

you are officially this site's worst poster. and that's saying something. :dbair

Thanks sweet lips. Ignorance is bliss in your case. Numbers have always confused you.

$143 million of cap space committed for 2014, and another $128 million committed for 2015. By contrast, the Falcons have $70 million committed in 2014 and $32 million in 2015.

Do not agree, paying him $10M for 1 year is crazy stupid. Either move on, or get him to sign a much more reasonable contract. Paying him franchise money and letting him leave next year is the dumbest option available IMO. If Spencer was the difference in whether or not we were a championship team then maybe we could do this. He isn't.

this does give us the option for a trade though. if we could get a third out of spencer's franchise deal that's a big win IMO

John Abraham had more production but at 30 years old went for a late 1st
I think a 3rd, and a 2014 3rd if he makes the probowl is fair.

Gives you that $10M in cap room plus a pick.
Problem is are there gonna be any de's at 18?

110% agreed.

Trade or sign to a long-term, semi-reasonable contract are much better options than renting him at $10M for another year.

I would trade Spencer for a 3rd. It's a fair deal for both sides.

Saints should be all over this for a 3rd round pick.

Obvious Rob Ryan connection, switch to the 34... Good deal for the Saints IMO.

Saints are already short draft picks, they might not be willing to make a deal like this.
