Why are we aquiring so many run stuffers this offseason?

Its not like we signed a bunch of run stuffers. Rogers could be a beast if he's motivated and plays to his potential. He can be disruptive in both the pass and run. Was a gamble back in February but hopefully playing for a winner will get him going. Franklin's solid and if one of these guys goes down we won't miss a beat. If we only have 1 run stuffing DT and he gets hurt then we'd be in a bind.

GW likes to rotate on the lines as much as anyone in the league and I like that. Can't ever have too much depth. Ellis is our lone returning DT from last year, but I aint gonna lie I miss Hargrove. Wish him well.

Do we know what motivated Hargrove to leave? Were we unable to offer him enough money?

With Smith, Jordan, Brown and Charleston on the roster he may have had trouble making this team.
