Karlos Dansby wants to play for the Packers

[RonWolfGOAT]

Linebacker Karlos Dansby, whom the Browns released Wednesday,*would like to join*the Cardinals, Bengals or Packers, writes Mary Kay Cabot of Cleveland.com. “Yeah, I think the Bengals are licking their chops right now,” he said. “I hope they are. We’ll see what it is.” Notably, Dansby started his career in Arizona as a second-round pick in 2004 and piled up 25.5 sacks before leaving after the 2009 season.*



So thats TWO inside linebackers who say they want to play for GB, the other being Trevathan. Maybe Ted will pick up the phone.

Isn't Dansby getting long in the tooth tho?

Yes. So was Andre Rison, Seth Joyner, Bruce Wilkerson, Eugene Robinson and Keith Jackson.

Yes. So was Andre Rison, Seth Joyner, Bruce Wilkerson, Eugene Robinson and Keith Jackson.

But none of them was released by the Cleveland Browns.

Nothing can be judged by way of the Browns!! They are the poster-child for poorly run organizations.

You forgot that gem of a free agent pick up that pushed us over the edge and led us to another Super Bowl triumph: Hardy Nickerson.

Oh, never mind...............

Some of them work out, some of them don't.

Is Julius Peppers a bad pick up because we haven't won a SB with him?

Yer only right on a technicality.

Rison played for the Browns and was cut by that organization.

But that was in the '96 off-season, so the Browns were now the Ravens.

I'm telling Drew Barrymore.

Ravens...would that be the organization who has one two (2) SBs since the move? I'm trying to figure out how much stink he may or may not have had on him.

Very good point! And I agree with the main gist of your post which is that TT signs Free Agents, some of whom work out very nicely like Julius Peppers. And that Ron Wolf, the GOAT, I understand, missed on some FA's like Nickerson and Joyner.

Dansby is not the answer for a coverage ILB. TT won't touch him, he's too old. He's going to double dip in the draft, like he's done lately: 2 DL, 2OL, 2LB...

[RonWolfGOAT]

Dansby is not the answer for a coverage ILB.

Top 5 LBs by PFF Coverage Rating:
1. Karlos Dansby 94
2. Thomas Davis 92
3. Luke Kuechly 91
4. Jerrell Freeman 90
5. Brandon Marshall 89


Like are we really at the point with TT fans that they will actually lie about a players attributes just to defend TT?

No, but Seth Joyner was objectively terrible. And I don't know about the PFF coverage stat. Jerrell Freeman was not on a lot of people's lists because he was considered a 2 down LB I believe.

I'll take your word on Seth Joyner since I was pretty young at the time. But its not like it was a mistake that put the team into cap hell.

Not Joyner alone, but Wolf was pretty tight against in by the end of that decade, which is part of why he got disillusioned and retired.

So Dansby's contract demand is definitely a factor. Packers paying their top 10 guys a lot. He didn't name four playoff teams by mistake. Just like Trevathan, he wants a market to build.
