That's hardly enough to make a fair judgement of a player.

Over 32
Injured
Production has consistently dipped
This team is at least year away from competing
His cap hit next year is 14.8 (highest on the team) while being utilized as a rotational guy (mostly because injury)

Just doesn't make a lot of sense. Use that butt-load of money to gamble on a FA pass-rusher or lock up younger guys like Lawson or WJ3

1.) We will/should be in a spot to compete next season. Hell we should be doing that this season.
2.) If Geno is Geno then 14.8 is a cheap price for him.
3.) I could see that

The scheme issue is so overblown in today's NFL. Geno and Dunlap not fitting is BS something else is wrong that know one wants to bring up.
