I linked this article above all others, because of the point at the end. If we sign Mark Blount, it won't be to slide Dalembert over but instead to place him on the bench. I don't know about you guys, but that's something I definitely don't want, especially after how well he played last season.

I mean compare it, a young player (23) who made huge strides when he finally got time Vs an older player (28) who made strides at the end of last season looking for a new contract. I just don't see the pluses in getting Blount, and I think bringing him in might be the first step in pushing Dalembert out the door.

Look at it this way, Dalembert is a restricted free agent next offseason. We could extend him this offseason, but why would he if he doesn't know if Blount will sign or not? And next year if he plays well he should get a good offer on the restricted market from someone because of his size and athleticism.
IM with you. No thanks to this stiff
