Where's he go, what do we do? By my little research I see that we have 50+ million to spend. But it looks like we have (At least) one hole at DE, one DT, RB, O-line still sucks, need LB's, might need to change to a 3-4, Ebron is still our TE and our blocking TE was suspended for skipping team meetings.
Option #1 = Franchise or Transition tag him. We probably have enough cap room to tag him and sign one other impact type FA. Ziggy was invisible last 2 seasons, had 9 sacks in 3 games, but only 5 sacks in the other 29 games over last 2 seasons. But he was only healthy for 5-6 games in those 2 seasons. Let him play a season on the tag to see what we are getting going forward.
Pro's - he's proven he can be all pro level pass rusher. One less hole to fill in FA or draft
Con's - Lotta money on a guy who can't stay healthy, had nearly zero impact in 90% of games.
Option #2 tag and trade. There is a potential huge reward if he rights the ship. Guarantee somebody is willing to take that risk. Only problem is if they're already taking a financial risk, they probably won't give up much in trade.
Pro's - Something is better than nothing.
Con's - Might actually get less in trade than we would get in comp picks. Possibly 4th vs a 3rd.
Option #3 sign to a long term deal. If he does gave a good season next year he' going to want Sun type money. QB type money. If we're sure we want to keep him, we might get a discount by signing a long term deal.
Pro's - possible discount if he's right.
Con's - huge waste if he pulls this crap again. May need to tag him to get him to negotiate.
Option #4 Let him go. We didn't need his 3 sacks to beat GB or NYG, and despite 3 sacks we still lost to Cincy. Over the past 2 seasons he had 0 impact on any othef games. So that means in total he hasn't had any impact. We could get 3 guts to have no impact for the ~18 million he'll cost us.
Pro's - spend that money elsewhere. Maybe get lucky.
Con's - another hole to fill on a team full of holes. There's only so many opportunities to fill said hole each offseason.
