If we pull in Nnamdi and Butler its on. A half way decent draft and we walk into the playoffs

IMO, we didn't land Nnamdi, waiting for Butler.

Don't let him leave Loomis!

Love the stat I read a few days ago: OLB's typically play 1000 snaps a season. He's played ~800 in his career and has 11 sacks. Of course playing him primarily on passing downs as a rusher inflates that a bit, but still impressive.

I can live with that.

Let's bag him.

Could we sign both, or is Nnamdi out if Butler comes in and signs?

Hard to tell.

Probably possible but highly unlikely unless Nnamdi is cheap.

Which I doubt.

I think that they can squeeze both in if they are willing to cut someone to sign draft picks. May have to trade/rescind offer to Ivory.

Would clear $2 million in cap.

I'd be okay with that.

Ivory should be able to land somewhere

If they sign Nnamdi and Butler, look at OL in the draft.

Was just about to post the same thing. I'm not sure if Nnamdi and Butler are both possible, but man that would be awesome. With the holes we have on defense, we can't afford the luxury of being so deep at RB. I love Ivory's play, but I think something needs to happen to him. That $2m mil is better spent on defense, plus I'd like to see less rotation at RB.

They may even try to move up a little to get a OT if they sign both.

Nnamdi signs on the stipulation that Butler is included. They both come in tomorrow! They both sign a deal!

Wow, landing Butler and Nhamdi would be nuts.
Makes the draft all that more interesting
