They usually go with a 5-5 split but sometimes they keep 11 and go light at LB or DB. Likely LB with Bachie and ADG free agents.

Chase Young is a good but not great DE. He would be better than Hubbard, Murphy or Ossai. I wouldnt pay much money for him though. His contract last year was worth 13 million. If you could get him for 13 million per year on a 3 or 4 year deal that would be a good signing.

Ossai played better at the end of the year but I wouldnt let that fool me into thinking we could count on him as a starter next year. He would be a good rotational piece if we could re-sign him for a decent price

We'll have to see what the new DC wants to do.
They may wanna run 3 LBs more frequently, especially in a division that runs so much.

I 100% agree on CY.
He's also still only 25 years old.
