Quote:Alualu is solid depth. Michael Bennett is a developmental prospect.


If Malik Jackson came with a normal price tag in the $8 million dollar range, sure, it doesn't hurt to add more good, young players, but $14 million is way, way overpriced. His own team won't budge off $10 million.


Paying Wilkerson $14 million is a little more reasonable. I don't know I would endorse that move, but I wouldn't be against it in that I would know that at least we signed a double digit sack guy that can play 3 or 5. Not needed, but a clear improvement, whereas Jackson is a likely very expensive lateral move.

And to be honest in any other cirumstance i would probably share your same sentiments. But this defense is just void of a lot of talent espcially talent that can get after the qb and push the pocket. Based on the OPs info he does just that. Coupled with the ridiculous amount of money we have (80 million according to over the cap) every single player who can either force turnovers or push the pocket should be in play.



I get your argument, the money may not make sense. My argument is that the money doesn't matter or shouldnt in our situation.
