The other option I considered was Ogunjobi, but our proven depth on the Oline is so thin I chose that over a good pass rusher because, let's face it, if we win the super bowl this year it will likely be because of our offense, not our defense :). Plus, I do want to see what Carter can do. Signing Ogunjobi would essentially bench Carter for the year barring injuries. Depth is important on the Dline just like it is on the Oline but, in our case, lack of depth on the Dline means the other team scores more points. Lack of depth on the Oline means Joe could be sacked a league high number of times again. And I'd rather prevent the latter than the former.
Echoed my thoughts almost exactly. When Reiff was healthy last season he played very solid so letting him rest on the bench and come in when needed would be huge for our depth. I'm high on Volson but letting him adjust to the difference in competition for a season would be nice. Ill be scared if he needs to come in for meaningful snaps vs NFL DTs after only playing D2 competition. Plus he can learn from Reiff.
