So lots of news to unpack today.
Apparently the team wanted to rework Reed’s deal, he didn’t, and they have agreed to disagree. Reed is now to be either traded or released. Apparently hot on the tail of that news the team has reached a new 2 year deal with Carlos Dunlap for 2 years at $16. 6 million/ $8.5 million guaranteed. I am curious to know if there is a voidable year attached to this contract?

Holy Moly!!!
My theory at present is that Hyder will play 3 tech mostly and switch off with Collier and have the other younger pass rushers school with Dunlap. Thankfully the team has Ford and Mone, suspect the team will have a few candidates for depth positions on the DLine. i could as well see the team adding another veteran on a short term deal. This is an addition through subtraction type happening for sure. Looks to me the pass rush has been improved.
This is certainly turning out to be an interesting off season, already there have been some surprises. Today was a surprise. There is still lots more to come and the team will need to bolster the CBs soon or look to the draft for help.
At present I will hold off on posting the re-signing of Dunlap and will also wait on a team announcement of the signing and the release or trade of Reed until tomorrow when I expect some formal announcements.
EDIT: At present Jarran Reed is still on the team roster (though apparently not for long) but will stay on the roster page until some formal move occurs. I've updated the roster to show the Dunlap re-signing.
