A lot of teams have situational pass rushers. It’s 3rd and long, guess what, they are passing.. get after the QB.
Yeah, I usually agree with Sunset, but Khalil Mack would be a huge upgrade for us and nothing wrong with him being a situational pass
rusher for us at his age. If anything he would be gamechanger for us on the other side of Trey in pass rushing situations, something that
would put our Defense in a much better situation and opposing QB's in much worse situations.
Let the Linebackers and Secondary stop the screens if that is what the Offense chooses to do in 3rd and longs.

He was a top 10 graded player at his position this year.
Yep, and I like Sam and am not against bringing him back for cheaper and as a run stopping depth piece. Just need to add a better all
around End for early downs. We can afford it as long as we don't overpay Tee who is not worth a ton with his injury history. If we make a
Tee trade that gets us another player or frees up more money all the better.
We need new Guards and DL talent. We add this and look out.

Under contract… your window is now. Extending the window happens when you draft, develop, and retain well. 2025 is, at this point, your best chance of winning a superbowl. It doesn’t get easier in the future.
Agree, the future will have to be Draft picks and hopefully our new Coaches can coach them up.
Right now, pay your best and add around them.
