Would you try to restructure/extend Darious to keep him for a few more years?

I honestly think it's necessary. Out of the entire secondary last year, he was the best player and the rest of them really had moments of concern and regression. Campbell was not the same player out there when his hamstring injury happened. Jenkins blew assignments. Cisco disappeared a little too much at times. Williams at least at one point had a damn good stretch for this defense. 

The goal should be minimizing the amount of holes you need to backfill every off season, the BIGGEST goal should be minimizing having to backfill CRITICAL positions with COMPETENT play. Williams at least gave this secondary a competent football player. You know what you have in him. Keeping him at least for another year or two enables you to focus on other critical needs earlier on. 

'We cut Williams but we replaced him with Kool-Aid with the 17th pick!".

Cool... says the majority when the offense is still struggling to convert 3rd and short situations, dropping passes inside the redzone and falling prey to the same predictable patterns on offense over the last two years. No thanks. We need to get out of this abusive cycle of getting our vehicle stuck in the sand, getting it pushed out with a little bit of help, only to skid right back on over into soft sand again. 

We need to the [BLEEP] out of here for awhile man. 

There must be some kind of way out of here, said the Joker to the Thief.
