You would have a solid point if age didn’t matter in the NFL and we weren’t talking about the current oldest guy under contract on our defense.

Look, I get it that it's nearly impossible to keep three players that are the caliber that they are without at least one of them being on his rookie deal. Ts, the age argument can and has been proven wrong. Whit being the first layer that comes to my mind. Someone called him an outlier and that's possible, but Trey is probably going to reach double digit sacks for the next 3 seasons barring injury. 

So, if Whit is an outlier as far as production and age, I think it's safe to say that Trey will be an outlier as well. Hate to lose a guy like that, but if some REAL value can be obtained in his departure it should help lesson some of the PR ability lost.
