It needs to be said and im going to say it. He is the best DE we have on this team. It’s time this team realizes it.

@Miguel,

Bowers got the sack. Probably should have been split with him and McCoy, but I guess since neither touched him, they gave it to the closest guy. I wish he wouldn’t have fell, because he was about to get laid out.

@Pete,
There is nothing of higher priority than pass rushers. Pass rushers are probably the hardest spot to find on a defense, and they are always at a premium. This is why they are generally the highest paid guys on the defense. So no, there is no higher priority than signing Bennett. As for him being a backup, not so fast my friend. Unless Bowers lights it up the rest of the season, no way does he take Bennett’s starting job. Fact of the matter is that you can never have too many pass rushers (see Giants, New York), and I’m pretty sure Dominik knows this, which is why he has drafted them so high. If we don’t sign Bennett, that’s going to be a huge mistake, because he is only starting to show what he can do. He’s not even close to his prime yet. Pay the man!!!

Who got credit for the sack when Palmer sacked himself?

Another thing to consider is budget. This year the Bucs spent big…as a result they’ll have much less to spend…and they have some higher priority spots to address. As I said…with Bowers and Clayborn healthy…Bennett does not start. Although…I think he is more proven than Bowers.

Dominik is great with contracts. I’m thinking of 4 year front loaded contract with a 5 year option

I don’t see it happening. Not because he isn’t worth resigning, but because I think Dominick will not want t pay starting money to a backup…and that’s what Bennett is wth the bucs. If Clayborn were active, with Bowers, Bennett would not have his six sacks.

And Bennett knows this as well. He can get at least 30 million this off season by changing teams.

I’m a little excited to see the Bucs DL healthy. D Bowers got sack today and is looking impressive so I can’t wait to see w DEs next year. We are looking like DT somewhere in next year draft for depth. resign Miller while they are at it.
