Hurst earned his spot as well. Those two and Hankins I like a lot next year. Jelly is one of the only dead money contracts we have on d, and he can plug a hole. When healthy he was highly ranked against the run.

Never seen Jelly do anything.
Just sayin, for 2.25 mill I kind of like this.
Hankins does everything Jelly can do at a higher level and also provides a pass rush. Hankins is also younger. Just use Jelly $ and some extra to retain Hankins.
A 1 tech like Jelly when healthy. For 2.25 million even at depth sounds fair. I think it completes the position group for a year anyhow.
Maybe if no dead cap, i see it. Just my 2 cents though. I would have zero concerns just paying Hankins also.
* Sorry, keeping him is 2.5 million on the cap, not 2.25. My fault.
Last year we gave up 4.0 ypa, this year 4.7 ypa.
Jelly is a good run stuffer and he was hurt all year. Need to run and stop the run.

We had Mack who is a top 5 run player and gave up 4.0. I dont see the difference being Jelly.
apart from Hurst our whole dline is trash, they couldn't get a sack if the QB fell on their lap.
I think it is 2.25 deadcap, to clear guarantees if we cut him, so that money is spent regardless.
From what I see, him still on the roster March 17th means the full 4.75 is guaranteed, but it's really only 2.5 to us above what's already in the books.
I am not super experienced reading these though.

Or we got 2 of the top 3 interior rookies, who will step up next year, on top of a late flyer on Hankins who worked out really well. We overspent on a 1 tech, but when healthy, he is worth 2.5, which to us is his actual value.
The numbers will come for the rookies, all-pro interiors are picked all the time with single digit sacks or less. Donald is a generational talent it seems like Reggie White, don't expect their numbers to compare.
Hell in 2017, 4.5 sacks was enough to be an all pro for Suh.

No, if we cut Jelly we dont owe him anything. His contract is only grtd for injury until March 17th. We would carry the dead cap but that doesnt mean we paid him out that amount.
Man, you are always so damn negative!
So do we get to spend that full 2.25 million from the dead cap on players if we cut him?
I could care less if it saves Mark money, or makes Jelly less money. If we get 4.75 in talent, yes Jelly is an overpay.
Otherwise, I would let him get healthy.
