It's an overpay but it solves a glaring need for more pass rush. I said he comps to Davenport for production/health but better pass rush at the expense of run def. I didn't want to be the team that offered him 13M. OTC puts his value at 13.9M.
Cam's new 2yr/26M contract looked worse each game last year. Young should be on the field for 55% of the snaps with Cam covering 45%. Granderson will be 75-80% with Kpass filling the rest. Turner and Foskey are now the 5th and 6th DE. It will be interesting to see who is active of the two.
This frees us to draft OT or BPA. I still think Latu/Verse would be great picks. Kpass, Young, and Turner are gone after 2024 and Cam may retire.
Maybe we can "moneyball" DEs with 3 making 13M/yr and get good production. I'm not sure the "3Cs" are enough to get it done. Teams usually need at least one elite guy on a DL and I don't see one.
