12-14 million with the last year back loaded and voidable and add a couple more voidable years after that. Just like Philly does.

More than that, funk off.

I'd say 14-16 annually is where I'd like him. My problem is if we don't sign him will we look at any free agent DT's? Because if the alternative is to sign some 2 million dollar scrub, then I may have to overpay for Osa.

I could live with that. Voidable years though!

Unfortunately Jerry's warped brain will imagine that this signing fixes the defense and so plan for no other "improvements".

I plan for no other improvements anyway, outside of the draft. I'd list alternative free agent DTs but I can't bring myself to look. We won't sign any of them. Eventually I'll look and pretend that this is what I'd do as a smart GM. But we don't have a smart GM. Hell we don't even have a GM.

We need a filter to tell us which DTs are laziest/cheapest/generally the least desired and won't sign until training camp.

"Grok, who is 2025's version of Linval Joseph?"

Yeah anyone who is good enough to sign before the draft is cut off. Show me the Carlos Watkins types.

Your direct question yielded little help:


Grok, who is the 2025 version of Linval Joseph?

Linval Joseph in 2025 is continuing his career as a defensive tackle for the Dallas Cowboys in the NFL. Born on October 10, 1988, he brings a wealth of experience to the team, having previously played for the New York Giants, Minnesota Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers, Philadelphia Eagles, and Buffalo Bills.

Here's a brief overview of his current standing:

Team: Dallas Cowboys
Position: Defensive Tackle
Age: 36
Height/Weight: 6'4"/328 lbs
Draft: Selected by the New York Giants in the second round, 46th overall, of the 2010 NFL Draft.
College: East Carolina University

Performance Metrics:
In the 2024 season, Joseph recorded 17 tackles and 2 sacks for the Cowboys, according to recent stats available online.
His overall grade for the season from Pro Football Focus (PFF) was 54.1, ranking him 124th out of 219 defensive interior linemen.

Contract Details:
Joseph signed a one-year deal with the Cowboys for $2.5 million, including a $750,000 signing bonus and $2 million guaranteed, with potential incentives based on sacks and playing time.

Impact on the Team:
His signing is described as a low-risk, high-reward move for the Cowboys, providing significant presence on the defensive line, particularly in run defense, despite not being a starter in terms of snap counts like in his peak years.

Recognition:
Joseph has been named to the Pro Bowl twice in his career and was once ranked 76th in the NFL Top 100 Players list by his peers.

For the latest updates or more detailed insights, you might want to check the latest news from reliable sports sources like ESPN, NFL.com, or PFF.



So I clarified the question and I think we might have our target. It would be pretty hilarious if this came to happen.



Meaning, which mediocre defensive tackle in 2025 free agency would sign cheaply and late in the offseason?



Based on the available web results, one of the 2025 free agency defensive tackles who could be considered "mediocre" and might sign for a cheap, late deal is Poona Ford. Here's why:

Performance Overview: Ford had a stint with the Jets in the previous season, where he managed only two games due to injuries (hamstring and knee), which significantly impacted his playtime and performance. This injury history might lower his market value, making him a candidate for a late, budget-friendly signing.
Previous Season: After signing a one-year, $2.5 million deal with the Jets, Ford's limited play suggests teams might be cautious, potentially leading to a lower salary offer. His history of being a "stout run defender" with some quarterback pressure capability, as noted by WalterFootball, might still attract teams looking for depth without high investment.
Age and Experience: At this point, Ford would be entering his age-30 season, which might not command a high salary but still offers experience. His versatility as a defensive tackle could be appealing for teams needing rotational players or those looking to bolster their defensive line economically.
Market Perception: With the NFL market often valuing health and recent performance highly, Ford's recent injury concerns might push him towards the later stages of free agency where teams with limited cap space or those filling out their roster could take a chance on him with a minimal contract.

Given these factors, Poona Ford fits the profile of a player who might not garner significant attention early in free agency but could be a valuable late signing for teams needing a cost-effective addition to their defensive line rotation.

Clueless, Poona Ford is obviously way too high end for us.

Don't think I've ever seen "QB Fellowship" before.

That may put us over the top.
