You know I'm not disagreeing with the back half of that statment, but you're saying move on from Okafor?

We have Cam Jordan, Marcus Davenport, and Trey Hendrickson under contract...

Possibly. Oak is very good veteran depth that can start. Over the years I've noticed that the Saints FO has been very loyal to players ... even to a fault. Meanwhile pre injury, Davenport (pretty vicious run defender) was on his way to becoming a monster. I'd like him to take over that spot in 2019.

I continue to believe that he (MD) is the future coming off the edge.

For what Payton's invested with him, I agree, he should be starting...

Why wouldn't you pay Okafor to stick around as a rotation/reserve/depth while you can afford it with Davenport in a rookie contract?

We'd return all four of our edge rushers and could focus on fewer positions...
