He would be the best DE we could possibly get in FA or the draft. He would help our D out in so many different ways. Him, Gholdson, and preferably Sean Smith would improve our D so much. And would also allow us to try to trade one of our other DE. I also would love to sign Glen Dorsey. He wouldn’t be too expensive and would fit great in a 4-3 D. Playing in a 3-4 in KC never allowed him to perform at a high level. Go Bucs!!

Just watched the video thanks Joe! I like Avrils speed something we haven’t really had since Rice was hurt. I Like Bennett $ will be the deciding factor on if he will remain a Buccaneer.

Avril would be a great pickup. Bennett is too much of a lone wolf. Tends to break scheme too often. Avril is a better pure pass rusher.

One of the more ridiculous predictions from this FA year. Why in hell would we not just resign Bennett, who is already proven in our system and can be had for equal or less.

These guys are just manufacturing these stories out of thin air.

Dave,

With Suh he is a double digit sack guy….Suh’s not here. He is trictly a speed guy who never gets double teamed. He is not the answer.

Unless the number is insane. Bennett will be a buc.

For the record I would keep Benn too. The best you could get for him is a 5th pick if your lucky.

I’d rather have Benn instead of the pick.

@Brandon

How in the world is Kruger better?! Kruger sucks and with you saying otherwise shows that uour football IQ is a single digit. Outside of the SB run this past season what has he done? He’s not a game breaker or playmaker, just a guy who gives effort. Some bonehead GM has a erection over his ring and overlook this and grossly overpay him. Avril has been a premier rusher for years and is still extremely young. . On gameday you account for avril, Kruger wouldn’t even talked about.

Im not really understanding this one… he’s not that much better than Bennett but they are willing to pay that much more? Kind of disappointing if ya ask me but I’ll trust Dom and Schiano know what they are doing

I understand its FA time, most of the noise that I’m hearing is just for the sake of writing a story. (This is the time for media and analysts to shine) but they are failing bad. Ill just wait until something is solid.

And as to the issue at hand, I’d take Avril over Bennett. But I wouldn’t pay $10m for either of them. Different players, but they have similar value in my mind of $7m-$8m. But we all know DEs get overpaid more than any other position so…

@ Dave

“Because Avril isa pass rusher. He had 11 last year. He is 26 and on the verge of being a 10-15 sack a year guyfor the next 5 years.”

– Says who? How can you begin to predict this?

“Bennett had 9 sacks last year. It is the most he will probably ever have. he is just not a big time pass rusher. he is just a solid player.”

– Are you an NFL scout? Do you know more than Keith Millard about the future and ceiling of Michael Bennett? Or are you maybe a fortune teller?

Not trying to cause a tiss here but give me a freaking break!
