Looks like Hankins left Indy without a deal.

If he's looking for Damon Harrison money (which I've read he is), then he's crazy and it was a wasted trip.

f**k that guy.

Hankins ' agent is apparently a complete clown and not really taken seriously anymore because of his consistently stupid-high demands for his clients. Hankins should fire the guy, no reason to be jobless so deep into free agency.

If he wants more than that, then he is crazy. While is a good and young player, he is not a game wreaker.

Only 12 DTs have multi-year contracts that average over $7.000m a year:

$19.062m = Ndamukong Suh, MIA
$17.100m = Fletcher Cox, PHI
$16.095m = Marcell Dareus, BUF
$15.966m = Gerald McCoy, TB
$14.250m = Malik Jackson, JAX
$11.083m = Michael Brockers, LAR (probably going to a 3-4 NT)
$10.885m = Geno Atkins, CIN
$10.500m = Brandon Williams, BAL (3-4 NT)
$10.250m = Corey Liuget, LAC
$09.250m = Damon Harrison, NYG
$09.000m = Tyrone Crawford, DAL
$07.433m = Kyle Williams, BUF

So, one true 3-4 NT on that list and one guy whom as signed as a 4-3 1-gap NT but is probably transitioning to a 2-gap 0-tech 3-4 NT with their defensive change.

Hankins is not now a 0-tech, 2-gap 3-4 NT. He could turn into one but he has been a 1-gap 4-3 NT for his NFL career thus far. To think that he needs to get paid as the 2nd or 3rd highest paid 3-4 NT in the league.....

I don't mind paying the $7m per year in cap space for a difference maker at the position. Brandon Williams was a difference maker at the position; Hankins may be as well but we don't know that for sure.

Anyway, water under the bridge but it appears that he is way over valuing his worth and will probably end up getting bit because of it.

Cheers,

Hankins supposedly signed. 3 years $30M. An expensive risk but immediate improvement.

Just heard Dakich announce it. Pretty salty
