You said he wouldn't be signed atcthe start of the season. I will take that bet. 

You said he wouldn't see the field before December. I will take that bet. 

$2-$3 million is also flatly absurd. 

The only thing you said that makes any sense is we need 2-3 guys at DT/NT. 

1) Reader 
2) Pass rushing DT (FA or draft) 
3) Reader placeholder/Tufele/Tupou upgrade (draft or lesser FA). 

I could live with another year of Tupou & Carter, but only as the 3rd options. As #2's, they are weak. Tufele is a PS guy. 

No, not back tracking at all.

I will still bet that he won't be signed at the start of the season - if he is, someone is giving a huge discount.  He injured it in mid December and it's widely considered a 9-12 month recovery.  I love DJ, but to sign him to big money at the start of the season is pretty foolish.  There's no way he signs in March, so when the season rolls around, most teams don't have the "big money" to offer a free agent.
