There's a very good chance Dunlap sees like 3 mil on the open market.  I'm actually calling for signing someone just like him.  Some aging guy who has had a good career, that doesn't command a big salary.

Hell, if you really want Dunlap, just cut him and then come back to him a month down the road and offer him 4 mil bucks for one year.  But whatever you do, don't leave his current contract intact.

It's not that I'm being sentimental about Carlos Dunlap, it's also because in the 3-4 hybrid defense, it calls for two huge DE/DT types and a NT.  I'd be all for drafting a huge 3-4 style DE to grow into Dunlap's replacement. (and they can usually be found in middle rounds)  I really like the role that they are using Lawson in this season, as we're getting good production from him lining up off the ball, compared to having him up on the Tackle strictly trying to turn the corner.
