Re: Who should we go for in Free Agency?

Don't know much about him, but it appears he is a solid player and a "true" nose tackle at 335 pounds.

Unlike others, I have no problem with the 3-4 and think in the modern, pass-happy NFL the flexibility of 4 LB's is the better base D. At the same time, you still have to stop the run, and we simply have not had a nose tackle who clog the middle. I liked Cofield, but he was not a plugger. I think Baker is developing into that (at 325 lbs), but Knighton seems to be that already. Plus, having a rotation of Knighton and Baker would also give us some real flexibility in short-yardage and goal line situations.

Knighton may be a bit expensive (~4.0M/year) but, if he is what he seems to be, I would be okay with him.
