A rookie is not proven. If we didn't bring back Ossai we would HAVE to Draft an End early or we would be incredibly thin even with Trey back.

Lol so clearly we have a different bar for what a proven pass rusher looks like. A rookie is clearly not proven. However, in the post that original caught my eye, you didn't mention a rookie. 

Here are players with a similar sack total to Ossai. Tell me if you'd consider them "proven pass rushers"

- Jonah Ellis
- Dondrea Tillman
- Keion White
- K'Lavon Chaisson
- Logan Hall

If we signed one of those players and you tried to say "we brought in a proven pass rusher", you couldn't be taken seriously
