Igor Olshansky?
-
Olshansky's a very strong guy (43 reps of 225), but he's not a good pass-rusher (11 sacks in 5 years) and is said to have an inconsistent motor. He's coming off a bad year (29 tackles, 2 sacks, 1 TFL), so he may come relatively cheap.
Looks like he may be a better fit for our two gap system than SD's attacking one gap 3-4. But if Robaire Smith is healthy & we're keeping Corey Williams, we may be better off getting a guy in the draft & devoting FA resources elsewhere.

Don't be surprised if the Browns try to move Cory Williams. He just isn't a good fit in the 2 gap 3-4 system. Or, maybe he jsut didn't want to be a good fit in the 3-4. I know he was injured most of the year, but he was an outstanding 4-3 one gap DT for GB and he just didn't seem to take to the read and react of this style of 3-4.

Tough to say what Mangini will do. He did trade away John Abraham when he got to New York, but the circumstances were a bit different: Abraham wanted a new deal and he was a more questionable fit as a 3-4 OLB than Williams is at DE. Also, they were able to get a 1st for Abraham; I doubt we'd be able to get anything more than a late 3rd for Williams.
And if we trade Williams, there will be a cap charge of at least $5.4M.
