Who are all the really good interior linemen that hit FA?
Aaron Donald, Fletcher Cox, Geno Atkins, Grady Jarrett....when teams have guys that are legit monsters and difference makers, they tend to lock them up.
Quality IDL are always available... literally...dime a dozen. Snacks can't even get a job after signing huge previous contracts in 2016 at nearly $10M APY. It's a passing league. They are becoming the FB's of defense. "Greedy!"
We'll see if this physical freak gets to that Donald and Jarrett level. If he gets near that Buckner level, it'll be worth it.
Otherwise, could have just bought a cheap IDL to fill the hole between Jones, AA and Bosa/Ford.
Quality run stuffing IDL are available. Legit pass rushing IDL don't usually make it to free agency unless they're older players and reaching the downside of their careers, and even then look how much McCoy just signed for.
