Totally agree. Honestly I wanted to move on from Andre. Sanu isn't worth the money he'll get, and while I love Leon - it's around time to move on. Now that MLJ is gone and Iloka is signed, Adam and Reggie have to be the priorities.

To be honest that's probably our solid window of opportunity to win a Super Bowl, unless he's going to the Patriots we're one of the better options for him trying to win something at the end of his career. Hopefully he considers familiarity and continuity as important considerations on top of just the most money. Of course a lot of this may depend on what the staff thinks. If they are really sold on Williams as a starter then they may not want him back unless it's at the low ballsiest of offers.
Well...I think 3 or 4 years is a bit longer than I'd be comfortable with, considering Reggies age. Of course, they could structure the contract in a way that'd make it easy to cut him if he fell off. I really think Nelson is far more important to this defense than some realize. If you really think about it, he's had more big moments than anyone over the last 5 years.
The training, nutrition, medicine, fitness, playbooks and rules evolve. The athlete does not.
