Dude, do you realize we have more cap money than any other team in the NFL? We don't need to worry about money this year.

We have the money to pay him, but there are also a lot of better players we could sign for that same money in FA. Hell, let's bring Alualu back for a couple of years.

Why? Alualu is not better than Smoot. Not by a long shot. 

I'm not saying we shouldn't bring in other DE/DT types. We should. We only have Costin under contract to play DE in 3-4 sets, so we definitely need depth. If you think we're gonna find better DE's at that low price, you are mistaken. DE's with any kind of pass rush ability at all are gonna command much more. Every year the price for skilled players at each position, rises.
