LB Van Ginkel in the house

I like that kid.  Underrated IMO - He's everywhere.
Grow the beard and braid the hair and youve got the NORSEMAN !!!

Agents have to love this time of year raking in the cash from top dollar contracts.

8 passes defensed including a pick 6, and six sacks last year in 11 starts. 

Good signing, now land a tackle & a cover corner & B-Flo will actually have something to work w/…!

That’s a very good signing. Looks like we’ve added two edges. He’s a local kid from NW Iowa. 

can he play QB?

not  to be confused with former dolphin Ray Finkel... laces out MFers.

Watched a few Dolphins games last season, and what I saw was "high motor" and tenacious. 
Stats don't always reflect a disruptive influence on the gridiron.

Will enjoy watching him with us.

So we’ve signed 2 LBs now. Does that move Pace to the pine? Seems odd. I thought he played really well. Or Metellus? Same deal.

Not gonna complain about any sort of talent infusion on the defense though.

Asamoah I guess is toast until he proves otherwise. No shock there.

Yeah, surprised as well with the two LB signings, thought we'd go DL in FA.

I'm thinking this will spell some players, and free up some fresh speed on blitz packages....and you've gotta love that.

I still think this is window dressing if they dont address DL, especially DT.

Keep in mind troops, the "first round" are typically the big money signings....and that's not really our M.O. (Which is what scares me about JJ)

Gotta temper your emotions on some of these "high maka maka" guys.  Most play for that second contract, and many will phone it in, once they've landed it.  Tough to discern those guys, but much can be taken away from the Haynesworth / Washington deal so many years ago. 

Glad that the Vikings are giving Flores some pieces to work with - If you wanna do the cooking, you should be able to do the shopping...

Lets go get Hunt or Ziegler and grade some roads

LOL.  Fitting, all the Cat Construction equipment dealerships in this part of the world are owned by a Ziegler.

Me three...

What does this mean for Pace? For Hicks?

Are these more "Edgy" type guys???

It's a nice start. No one old, best D infusion in years, real players.

What’s interesting is the deals for the 3 guys so far are 2, 3, and 4 years. Staggering them makes me think we’re trying to build something longterm rather than create a window. I like that I think. Not fun when everyone is a FA all at once.

Hicks is a free agent.
