RUMOR: Alex Highsmith?

[PatsFan2]

I think that should do it as well. And i think it makes alot of sense from our side especially if boutte is asking to be dealt.

Im not sure if im interpreting the rules correct but i think wed be on the hook for 14.5m and 15.5m cap hits (someone please correct this if im wrong). I think thats very fair for 2 years of highsmith.

I have soft spot for Boutte... Pop Douglas and our Fourth.

Thibodeaux or Highsmith IN
Boutte OUT
================
Sure, there are details to be negotiated.

Who is our 2026 defender? This is what cap money is for.

And no, this will NOT affect the extension of Gonzalez or Maye.

So who is better thibodeaux or highsmith?

Dude I was just going to ask that: I think the Giants guy is a lot younger.

Normally id prefer that as well, ive mostly been on team Boutte and i don’t see pop progressing as much for us in year 4. But if Boutte wants out probably the best thing for all parties is to move him.

had an insane bust

Not usually what I look for in player evaluations but it couldn't hurt.

If they get Highsmith than Landry is gone next year for sure even if he has a great year. Older with injury issues with a bigger cap hit.

But for this year the Pats would have a hell of a pass rush. If all it cost is Boutte and a 5th I'm okay with the move and would wish Boutte the best. If they are doing this move even after Jacas it does make you wonder though... Either they see it as too valuable to pass up or they have huge concerns about Landry. I hope it is more the first than the second.

You Never have enough pass Rushers...the Giants seems like they have 100 *jealous*. Also Rookies are no guarantee: let's hope Jacas develops the more the merrier.

This would b fantastic. A unit that is C- goes to B and gives the opportunity for Jacas to develop at a normal pace.
I'm not that keen on sending $20 of our cap space to the Steelers, though. I guess the price must be paid.

So it's Highsmith or the Thibbs...torn.
