PFF scores:
2019 Vigil - 54.3 (51.2 run, 54.4 rush, 61.1 coverage)
2020 Bynes - 52.6 (47.8 run, 64.5 rush, 60.9 coverage)

Stats:
2019 Vigil - 111 combined tackles, 1.0 sack, 2 FR, 5 PD, 1 INT
2020 Bynes - 99 combined tackles, 1.0 sack, 1 FR, 2 PD, 0 INT

Doesn't seem like an upgrade to me, although Vigil did have 216 more defensive snaps than Bynes. So maybe just slightly.

For about half the money that Vigil was paid by the Chargers, Bynes appeared to be a bargain bin player that panned out.  With that said, I'd welcome the idea of the team keeping Bynes around for similar, or even with a slight pay raise from last year's deal.  One has to think that with a healthier DL in front of him, along with the youthful LBs around him having established their 2nd season together as a unit, that Bynes stats and productivity should improve as well.
