We clearly didn't on Zach Carter.

By trading Rankins now, we save another $2 mil, plus get an extra pick.

I think the Zac Carter experiment should be all but over don't put this guy back on the field period..

Hitting on Geno Atkins was awesome, but it kind ruined their approach to drafting DTs by just relying on mid rounders. That's why a mediocre DT from outside of the organization like BJ Hill winds up getting as many healthy snaps that he can get. In reality, on a good defense, he's a backup/rotational piece at best. Here, he's got job security. and as long as they keep drafting mid-late round DTs, he has no real competition.

you better be damn strong like Geno Atkins was and Byron Murphy is damn strong like this. Drafting an End and trying to move him to 3-tech
in the AFC North was just dumb on top of bringing in Rankins to replace DJ Reader, different players.

Only DJ Ivey on PUP is eligible to return to the active roster and I doubt he will be ready before November at the earliest

6'6" 295lbs. 20lbs of chili onto the boy and I think he'd serve well.

Jackson Carman and Billy Price both didn't bench.
