Even though anything can happen and i'm not "expecting" Vernon. It's obvious Vernon was 1b to 1a of Malik. We had one of the worst pass rushes in the league and that hindered where we could go. Vernon fits in as an ideal vet pass rusher who is young and still holds upside of being a 10+ sack guy, as he's done it before and is only 25 years old.

 

We may not land him, but we are definitely the favorite. No doubt in my mind. We have a ton of money the next couple years, we aren't going to miss out on a guy that is a main target that is leaving his team.

 

Last year we lost McCourty and Cobb because they returned to their home, winning teams. Vernon isn't going home.
