Cappa really fell off and some say that is because of injury, we will see. We know Hubbard has been playing with injury. Moss didn't
even bring good pass pro here last year. Volson sucks, cut him.
Build around the core players in Joe, Ja'Marr, Tee, Mike G and Trey and you could have worse players to build around I would think.
Yeah. If we buy the drop off is due to injury (Hubbard, Cappa), then a replacement may not be necessary. Rankins could be in that category as well.
But LG needs upgraded even if Cappa rebounds. And Hubbard isn't a great pass rusher even at his best. And even with Rankins, we still need DT help.
If we can get Tee, Chase, Trey, Mike G. and the Burrow restructure done quickly, it will help us attract other guys in FA. It will show we are serious about being a contender.
A ring chaser/vet would have us on their list then. Some maybe be cheap (Calais Campbell at DT), mid-range (Zeitler at RG, Tart at DT), or even high end (Smith at RG).
