August 2, 201510 yr comment_149315 After Wilson and Wagner deals, Seattle has to clear some cap space. McDaniel will probably sign with a 4-3 team, but he would be a decent pickup to fill the hole made by McDonald (and only a few letters to change on uniform). Could he work as a DE in a 3-4? Just curious because he is only 30, played for SEA the last 2 seasons, and shouldn't cost more than $2-$3 mil per year. On a totally unrelated side note, I did some research (not complete yet) after the Wilson and Wagner signings and found that there are 12 teams that will have over $70mil in cap space tied to their top 6 players in 2016 (basically 6 players taking up half their cap space): SEA, DEN, GB, PIT, CAR, BAL, BUF, DET, DAL, NO, ARZ, and MIA. NE, CIN, and IND were the only 3 playoffs teams that don't fit that mold. I actually find that somewhat interesting. Obviously all those teams have better players (who require more money to keep) but you would think that the bottom of their roster would be weaker with less money. Now those numbers are for 2016, so there is a good chance that many of them won't be next year. Report
August 3, 201510 yr comment_149322 Absolutely would love McDaniel. Perfect replacement for McDonald. McDaniel actually played the 5-tech with Seattle so yeah. They play a 4-3 under, which is essentially what the Bears will be running. Adding him would be huge. I like Rat-Goldy-Ego but after that the depth is not that good to me. Report
August 3, 201510 yr comment_149323 It will be interesting to see if we make a move here. Coaches have seen everyone now and after hitting for a couple days are getting an idea of what backups like Sutton and Jenkins can do. Report
August 3, 201510 yr comment_149333 From what I've read, Bears seem quite pleased with play of the rook, Ego, and Ratliff (plus Jenkins is here too) so I'm not sure whether we'd see them bring in McDaniel. Report

August 4, 201510 yr comment_149341 Yep. Not to mention, I was at camp today, and Eddie Goldman spent time with the ones. I am intrigued about Sutton too. Too soon to give up on him. He was 3rd rd talent. He will probably see more opportunity on nickel packages. Report
