I really don't know much about this guy other than he plays for Dallas. If we sign him would he be a difference maker?

[Waldo]

His play is pretty similar to Jenkins. Good run stopper, puts a lot of heat on QB's, but doesn't get them on the ground that much. He'd be a huge upgrade over Jolly.

Canty is a little longer and taller than Jenkins and without the injury history. He's better than his stats indicate. I'd like to see him in Green and Gold if the price was right.

I would also like us to make a play on the available safeties.

I guess he would be a good pickup them. I'm hoping Harrell makes it back from injury as I see him being very good at DE in this scheme.

He looks ready for action...

Tank lives on in infamy...it was him that coined the Turtle persona for TT, wasn't it? Or was it Bretsky with his sig...

Jenkins play without the injury history sounds pretty damn good to me. Can someone tell me why Dallas isn't re-signing him? I've heard Olshansky is lazy, which is why SD isn't re-signing him.

anyone else having trouble getting to PFT? Seems like they're overloaded.

well, they better do more then just talk to his agent if they really want him

he already has 4 teams lined up for meeting going through the weekend

he is suppose to fly from the east coast out to seattle though tomorrow

maybe TT can talk them making a pit stop on the way out there

They need some depth dreadfully. I say bring him in.

What would be a fair deal for him?

floria saw this happening so he made a deal with sportingnews.com to post the stuff there in case his site sent down

Canty is not depth.

Fair or realistic

Fair is 6 yr 30M, 12M guaranteed

Realistic is 6 yr 65M, 25M guaranteed.

Just the way it works.

It just all depends on the asking price and what others are willing to offer.

Canty is decent and likely has his best years ahead of him. He's not as good as a healthy Jenkins, and he's an upgrade, but not a huge one from Jolly. If Thompson can get him for a good price, I'm for it.
