OK, slightly above average DE.

actually they wanted a first rounder....

He's no worse than Abe or Edwards and he's a whole shit ton better than any other DE we have. If that's what you meant by slightly above average.

I'll take Biermann for $500K. You take Osi for a first rounder and the $7 million per year he is seeking. We'll meet back here at season's end and see who got the best value.

I don't disagree with you at all, but if we had cap room osi would be a no brainer over biermann. Calling him mediocre or slightly above average is ridiculous at best.

Just can't trust a guy coming off a herniated disc, I don't care what the doctors said. Didn't he tear his ACL once too not that long ago? Giants asking for a 2nd rounder for a guy ready to split open at any minute seems ridiculous.

Call it backlash against the notion propogated by Osi and his fans that he is an elite talent worthy of a max contract.

I know Osi is good. That said, I don't think he will be that much more productive than Biermann this season playing in a contract year.

I seriously doubt it goes down, but dude is disruptive. 10 sacks, 10 FFs last year. It would be a sweet addition considering the QBs we face this year.
