DOMINIQUE EASLEY released

If that's the only part of the pro sports compensation system that you think is nuts, you're a lot better off than I am.

LOL.....don't get me started.....that is just one nut that fits into an Ocean of nuts when it comes to the pro sports compensation system. But until they figure out a system that is more geared around performance pay, I become less and less interested in professional sports.

3) Mike Daniels, Green Bay Packer (4.05 average distance to the quarterback)

Mike Daniels has never been the sack monster that the two players ahead of him are, with a career-high of 6.5 back in 2013, but he is one of the most disruptive interior presences. Daniels' 4.05 pressure score was above the 98th percentile among interior defensive lineman this season. The Packers were the seventh-best pass rushing team in the Next Gen Stats rankings and Daniels' extremely strong pressure production was the biggest catalyst for that. He's been a rock for the team over the last three seasons, as he's started all 48 games in that span. Green Bay doesn't offer any other player who can pressure the quarterback inside on a consistent basis, and while their edge rushers flashed at times this season, all of Clay Matthews, Julius Peppers and Nick Perry have different questions in their 2017 outlook. Despite a strong ranking in 2016, thanks to the elite play of Mike Daniels, Green Bay will likely look for more pass rush help in the offseason.



4) Dominique Easley, Los Angeles Rams (4.10 average distance to the quarterback)

Jettisoned by the Patriots prior to the season's start, the 29th overall selection in the 2014 NFL Draft became a big factor as an interior disruptor for the already loaded Los Angeles Rams defensive line. Dominique Easley was a terror up front for the Florida Gators in college before multiple ACL injuries cast questions on his NFL Draft projection. Easley never developed into a consistent force in New England and wore out his welcome after two seasons. He found new life with the Rams, registering 3.5 sacks as a sub-package rusher. Easley's 4.10 pressure score was in the 97th percentile among interior pass rushers this year. After playing on a one-year deal with the Rams in 2016, Easley will be free to test the market this offseason. With a bit more momentum after a strong showing in Los Angeles, Easley could garner more attention this offseason. However, it would be best for his career if he remained a part of a heavy rotation like he was in LA.

PFF had Easley graded at 79.1 which was good enough for 26th among interior defenders last season.

I wonder how much of his good play in LA is due to playing next to Donald.

Once i hear injury i lose interest. Would be better if he smoked a lb of weed or whatever issues other than injury

I'm a big fan of having bodies and competition in camp. I've been extremely confused by the lack of competition at the inside linebacker position. Packers aren't exactly flush with defensive line talent. IMO, he's worth a one-year, non-guaranteed contract to see what he could do.

Camp? Bodies is about all we put out there for D in the games.

Competition... more bodies mean more competition
