True. We are still a Super Bowl contender and DJ makes a big difference for us when he is healthy. I am sure DJ wants a ring before he retires.

Even if you do sign DJ Reader to a modest contract and he comes back to full health, it won't likely be until later in the season, meaning they'll still need to sign a guy and draft a very good NT to develop for 2025 and beyond.
Yes, it was a disappointing season in stopping the run. We had it tough with the early schedule, but we all know we have to slow down the
run game of the Stains and Ratbirds if you are going to beat them. Nick Chubb is always tough to slow down though, that guy is great.
Bring back DJ and hope he can get healthy sooner rather than later and bring in a Draft pick to develop behind him. Hoping we get a good
3-tech that can rush the passer in FA like Christian Wilkins or Madabuike.
