I like both players better than the STATS would suggest but whatever.
JPP just got 4/62 with 7 sacks and a missing finger at 28. I'll spend the extra dough and get the guy who didn't blow his finger off, thanks.
It's clearly not an overpay. Look around, 8 teams can't blow their $ if they tried so whatever.
I mean the only real concern and it probably shouldn't be is that he's moving from 3-4 OLB to a 4-3 LEO now in gus bradley's defense.
fwiw, Ingram was also 7th in hurries last year. He's a good end at a premium NFL position.
That argument is fairly disingenuous as there are about 30 people in that sack range, & you picked 1 massive overpay & 1 guy with a much stronger reputation against the run who received much less guaranteed $.
The hurries argument is better. & the fact that the Chargers likely don't have a better use for the $ makes it ~fine, but I stand by my initial comment.
