So...why did we keep the injured guy and trade the healthy beasting guy?

 

[SoulfishHawk]

Because we got a great offer and 21 mil is WAY too much for Clark.

And the injured guy won't be by training camp.

A double digit sack DT is way, WAY more rare than a double digit sack DE.

That "healthy beasting guy" had two UCL tears.

He sure played well for a guy that was hurt . Heal well Jarren were going to need you at full strength this season.

Does anyone actually know what that combination of finger contortions means?

Well, when I do it (as an almost-60-year-old white dude) it means "W", as in UW. But that's just me.

 

[AROS]

I always thought it meant West Coast.

To the point that there were only two in the NFL last season. Jarran Reed and.......Aaron Donald.

I think you might have to throw the KC Jones dude in there even though he plays in a 3-4, but yeah, it's really really rare that a DT ever gets to double digits. Even Tez only did it once at 14 sacks. His next highest was 8, followed by getting 6.5 sacks 4 times...and you're talking about one pf the all time greats.

Welcome to the club. Just a couple of us have been pointing this out, and I 100% agree that Reed is by far the more rare talent. He will also cost less $$, and he helped run up Clarks numbers as well.

Yep. It’s a no brainer, IMO.

The thing that's always kind of annoying is, the season ended the beginning of January, the problem was known, and here he is getting surgery at the end of April. Oh well, whatever.

Those can heal on their own, and it is only 4-6 weeks recovery so this issue is not really an issue in this case.
