Wade's one gap version of the 3-4 calls for a smaller quicker nose tackle. Sylvester Williams fits the prototype, and the Broncos just used a first round pick on him 2 years ago. Is it time to see if we can get maximum return on our investment, and spend the money it would take to sign Pot Roast elsewhere? Or do we bring back the big fella and let Wade adapt the defense to him?
On one hand-
Knighton is 28 years old and playing the best ball of his career.
He eats up double teams as well as anyone in the league.
He moves well for a 350 pounder.
On the other hand-
He seems to disappear in the big games.
He's become more of a two down player.
He's probably going to command 7-8 million per year to retain.
He's made it very clear through his twitter that he'd be more than happy to play in Oakland.
What say you?
