Packers express interest in Chris Canty

[Waldo]

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.

He's currently the best defensive lineman on the market and teams still have a lot of money to burn.

"A good price" is out of the picture. I expect he'll get signed for T. Harris type money.

He IS a huge upgrade over Jolly.

He is just as good as a healthy Jenkins. It would be a stretch to say that he is better, but the way he plays the game and production is very similar to Cullen. Canty is a very good football player.

Why doesn't Dallas think so, or are they strapped by the cap?

Cap. Same reason that SD let Igor walk. In the Phillips 3-4 model, the DE is not a high paid position. Same thing with our offense. We pay for our expensive OT's with cheap G's. They pay for their expensive pass rushers with cheap DE's.

I have no doubt after this interest in Canty, we miss out and we're gonna put a full court press on Igor.

If we got him it would really help solidify our line, most importantly giving us more dept because then Jolly could be a solid backup. Id be happy if we got him and got Raji in the draft then our line will be good.

Especially since Jolly goes on trial March 27. Can't rule out a suspension if Jolly is found guilty. With Jolly's situation and Jenkins' and Harrell's injury history, DE is a huge question mark right now.

Canty

Well, he was going to sign a contract with Washington that had 20 million guarenteed. That is a lot of money. Washington pulled the offer when they signed AH.

[PaCkFan_n_MD]

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

What would be a fair deal for him?

Fair or realistic

Fair is 6 yr 30M, 12M guaranteed

Realistic is 6 yr 65M, 25M guaranteed.

Just the way it works.

He is not worth 11 million a year and I don't think we have to worry about TT paying him that amount of money.

[Joemailman]

Canty may find out that not everybody throws money around like Snyder in Washington. Not sure who the highest paid 3-4 DE in the league is, but 10-11 million per year signs awfully high.

According to the insiders blog, the contract was 7-8 million a year, but that is still pretty high. He's better than what we have now, but how much is to much??????????????????????????

Canty isn't getting anywhere near 6 for 65

[LEWCWA]

and he isn't all that good...not the guy you want to break the bank for IMO

[Joemailman]

Canty is a very good player who at age 26 should just be entering his prime. Actually, 7-8 million per year isn't that outlandish considering the way contracts are escalating.

[Brando19]

Canty's a big dude!
