The interest in Markus Golden is there. Price hasn’t been right to this point. But he’s willing to be patient. Giants among teams monitoring. After all, this is a player who had double-digit sacks. Was sixth in NFL w/27 QB hits + T-14th with 13 TFLs. Quality player on market.
I think the Clowney ship has unfortunately sailed. The only way they can make an offer in his range is to denounce Williams' franchise tag & I don't think DG will do that!They've used up most of their cap space!
+1
more like the Golden camp is held up until Clowney sets the market. May have to wait for Griffen as well...
The only thing I see as a concern is his age along with the price tag. The thing that makes Clowney interesting is he is 27 years old is much more explosive. Golden is fundamentally sound, is a good leader, is coming off a good year, but now wants to get paid. I believe Atlanta was interested but has since signed Fowler to a huge deal. If Golden wants more than $ 8 Million per year and a 3 year ( 3 year $24 Mill )deal I doubt he gets that from that from NYG.
I would give that to him and frontload the deal with guarantees the first year/two.

I would be happy with a high priced short term "prove it again" deal, but considering age and such not sure if this happens.
10 sacks are great but look at all of those sacks and you will see that they are either effort sacks where most QBs would have thrown it long before he got there or he was unblocked. He is also well below average against the run. If we had a top line pass rusher he may be good opposite him but to have him as our #1 option and pay him top $$ is not a smart move.
Fackerell is a similar player and I believe is his replacement.
Golden is not a superstar. Fackrell is not a superstar. Only of those guys wants to be paid like it.
In 2019 the opposite could have been said.

Clowney is crazy to think someone is going to pay him Amari Cooper money for the numbers he has generated thus far.
Martinez and LW tagging where he was tagged was totally unnecessary and knee jerk. Martinez would probably have been there next week and I don't think the world was going tear down the door if we put the restricted tag on LW.
I like the front loaded contracts, but there will be deals next week and the week after when certain players realize there are only so many spots in this crazy world of NFL Musical Chairs....especially with the draft adding 250 or so players next month.
Am I crazy?

Spot on. Too many people forget that Golden showed real promise with the Cards before he got hurt. Now that he's fully recovered, we're seeing a guy who appears quite capable of producing double digit sacks and QB pressures/hits. Stats I posted once the year ended in support of keeping him over LW...

Fackrell: 28 pressures on 191 rushes
Golden: 60 pressures on 460 rushes
Statistically speaking, pressure rate is a better predictor of future sack numbers than sack numbers Y:Y.
I DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YOU AREN'T BUYING TOILET PAPER.
This is from 2019. In 2018 Fackrell had 10.5 sacks. Golden was ineffective (although he was recovering from an injury). So both players have 2 years worth of sample size if you discount 2018 for Golden which I would.
Frackell is a backup/spot starter guy. I would love to see Golden/Frackell/X man create some type of pass rush.
