Yeah our D would likely be better but 2 mid level guys ain’t taking our D into the top 5.
You're framing it in an weirdly biased way there, Housh.
We weren't even a top-5 offense last year, so why would having a much improved defense require us to be a top-5 defense?

If you're asking a real question of who instead of just making a venting thread.... for roughly the same money, who we could have signed on defense that would improve our team more than losing Tee would hurt our offense for an overall net gain? My answer would be signing both Josh Sweat and Justin Reid. Arguably I could probably then sign another player on top of that since Josh Sweat would remove the need for overpaying Joseph Ossai $7m, which could nearly be the AAV of a James Daniel or Kevin Zeitler contract upgrade at G.
