Connor Barwin

Barwin needs to do an outstanding job explaining how he went from racking up 11 sacks in just over a nhalf a season to becoming virtually invisible the next year. It would have to be a very convincing story before I would be willing to invest more than Trevor Scott money on him.

JJ Watt got there first

I'm gonna watch some all 22 from last year tomorrow when I have some time and try to answer that.

Would love it wanted him coming out of the draft would be a good alternative to breaking the bank for a passrusher think he has double digit sack ability.
3 yrs 12 mill sounds about right.

He is going to be asking for at least 4 years, 20 million. And that is being optimistic.

Connor Barwin signs with the Eagles for 6 years, 40 million dollars.

All the money saved from Namdi Asomogah must have been burning a hole in Chip Kelley's pocket.

And you wanted to trade SPIKES to accomplish all of this? don't get that idea at all....Anyways...he's off the block!

He's a really interesting case. I loved the guy as a prospect. He was my first real draft binky. He had a good rookie year in a situational role, missed his entire second season, was really good two years ago with 11.5 sacks, and then regressed terribly last year.

I think he would have been a much better fit a few years ago when the Pats were playing the 3-4, where they could better use his versatility and athleticism in coverage. In the 4-3, I don't think he's an ideal fit at DE because he didn't have success rushing the passer last year.

I'd almost be interested in trying him out at 4-3 OLB. The athleticism is definitely there. The guy ran 4.47 at 256 pounds and has the fluidity to match that.

So here's my super crazy plan that could maybe work: Trade Spikes, move Hightower inside, sign Barwin, play him at Sam.

Other than that, probably not happening.
