BB is the 16th highest paid DT- as we look at every nickel, his name is going to come up

His name would come up simply because of Jenkins showing his ability to start and he costs less...

that said, it would be an incredibly risky chance to let an established 34 Nose Tackle geaux breaking up an affordable, cap friendly, effective rotation at the NT which is rare in today's NFL...

The rotations on the defensive line were the best we've had since the LaRoi Glover gang, maybe even the Dome Patrol days...

On defense, the big problem that has half a solution solved in Vaccaro is to get the complement to shore up the backstop and maybe a playmaking cornerback to pair with the solid pro Keenan Lewis...

But the bigger issue on defense is really at Linebacker where we showed we're most vulnerable when Vaccaro was healthy...
