Devin Smith has been forgotten in all the other WR talk, and as you said Kip, if used right, he could be "that guy"...

And Quentin Coples, whom the Jets drafted with the pick after Irvin, also has 16.5 sacks. The Jets picked up his 5th year option already. Your point ?
PFF has Irvin rated the 11th best OLB in the league, out of 62 qualifying players. He's only played LB, at the HS, College, and Pro level....for 2 years. Signs point to more progression and that he hasn't hit his ceiling yet.
The thing is, McGruff has it right. That LBer position doesn't hold a ton of value in our defense. We can get similar production from a lot of guys. They won't have Irvin's athleticism, but they can still produce similar results. Now, if Irvin makes more impact plays next year, then we'll see.
Irvin only has 3 picks in his career. Obviously he got none while being the rotational DE as a rookie. Of the others, 1 was 35 yards down field, and the other 2 went for TD's. That's what he gives you when he's on.

Atlanta drafted their guy for the same role as Irvin so doubt this trade happens.

I dont buy any of it... there are or have been so many rumors floating around... none of them have come true... there are about 5-6 really good recievers on the board left... could the Hawks trade up for one of them? sure... they dont need to give up BI... I just dont buy it...

The jets don't have a franchise QB and MLB to sign.
The point is that he is an average player in the NFL and highly overvalued by Seahawk fans because of where he was drafted and what he might do.
But I would rather have him for this year and get a potential comp pick in the future.

Yeah, this trade died the moment Atlanta got that first round pick.
But if anything, that also cements the idea that Atlanta really wants to fix that position even at a high cost.

Just for the record did it come out of the Hawks mouth that they are not going to give Irvin a 5th year option or is it just media speculation? Since when did teams go public about not extending a player before he plays a snap in his last season...

The whole point of having irvin isnt LEO Its SAM.
they would essentially be double dipping into pass rush with bruce on one side and vic beasley on the other?

Was driving yesterday so didn't hear everything but when they were interviewing Beasley he said several times that he thought he would be used as Irvin is used in Seattle which is where I drew the conclusion that they wouldn't need Irvin.
Guess we will see

Well, guess we'll have to wait to hear from JS to see if we really were targeting DGB...
