You'd think we'd retain Atkins and Dunlap...but we can only franchise 1 and the other could escape to a team that has a shot at winning.
Last time we had 2 productive defensive lineman hitting free agency (MJ and Dunlap) they essentially offered them both contracts and saw which one would accept the deal 1st then let the other go.
Plus even if we do keep them both, Atkins will be 30/31 when he signs the contract. His years of being dominant will gradually come to an end.
But, Defensive Line is the least of our needs. I do agree with that.
