I think we need help on the defensive line. Would like to see some shuffling and additions to 3 areas on defense.

1) release/trade/wave either Will Smith or Cedric Ellis to free up money. Pick up a veteran free-agent d-lineman.

2) release scott shanle and and pick up a veteran OLB through free-agency

3) evaluate picking up a veteran corner, but unfortunately they're always expensive when they're actually good.

So at least 2 upgrades, the D-line upgrade would actually free up money to get additional help.
