So, now that Avril and Mathis are tagged as well, there doesn't seem to be many DE upgrades available in the FA pool.

... and if you take Avril under the tag, my understanding is it costs you two 1st round draft choices ... he's good & I like him, but that's pretty steep. If anything, it'll help the Lions hold onto him & make a deal.

And the Saints don't even have a 1st rounder this year, and they may not have one next year either depending on what Goodell does.

I don't think Avril's worth two 1st rounders, I'd place Campbell above Avril in that regard, but I don't know if even he'd be worth two 1st rounders with the additional huge contract he would demand.

I think you'd be hard-pressed to find many players worth two 1st rounders, that's almost like Herschel Walker-trade level. I think they put that stipulation on there to promote the player staying with the team for at least one final season.
