    This D over the next couple of years could get weak fast. Yes we still have Aaron Donald, but next year we have Eugene Simms, William Hayes, Janoris Jenkins, Trumaine Johnson, and Nick Fairly as UFAs. In 2017, Michael Brockers, Chris Long, LaMarcus Joyner, and TJ McDonald, are set for Free Agency as well. I am a little concerned. We drafted all of this talent on Defense, and have nothing to show for it. No playoff berth or anything. Just frustrating. That does not include the health of Robert Quinn. So, we will have to make some decisions. I like Snead. I feel he did a good job drafting, but the Coaching was bad in my mind.

    I think they will keep a lot of those guys.

    In fact I think that’s one reason they went young on the OL in 2015. Signing vets for the OL would have taken chunks out of the 2016-2018 caps. That’s the money they need to sign their current crop of FAs.

    So the line will mature AND they keep 1 or 2 more of their own FAs.

    To me, good plan.
