Can we afford to do so? We have a good chunk tied up in Bosa, Floyd, and YGM. Despite what many think, Floyd was good for his price. If he is strictly used as a 3rd down edge rusher, we may see more. YGM was a bigger disappointment, but he was also hurt. So we could used a guy that could play on first and second.

We've invested a lot there, but used Hargrave incorrectly and got soft up the middle in run D. We need a lot of guys but its doable in one offseason.

Absolutely we can.

We will have close to 85 million in cap space once we restructure Kittle and Warner.

Even with Purdy extension I expect us to be major players in free agency.

Add Morgan Fox to the list. He might be a better option at a base end than Yetur Gross Matos

I wish they could trade for Trey Hendrickson. But I'll happily take Myles Garrett.

i thought Trey is a FA ?
No more 30+ year old high priced DL. We can't keep trying to fix problems exclusively through FA. We can't afford it.

Lynch and the staff need to do their jobs by drafting good players and coaching up those players

Interior line is a the biggest need but they could use a good speed rusher from the edge. Bosa isn't slow but he's more of a power rusher. It would be nice to have a speed guy to compliment him then they could flip them from one side to the other during the game to confuse the tackles.

The whole d line needs help not just the interior. It's a total mess across the board

I think we have parts, but because so many key parts are missing, the Dline as a whole doesnt look good.

The good news is, I think we can revive the Dline in one offseason.

🎯

Much is made of Philly, but they don't just invest in the trenches, they succeed. We haven't in terms of the draft. Our best success has been through trades and free agency (Charles Omenihu, Samsun Ebukam, Arden Key, Leonard Floyd). I do think this year is kind of cant miss. If they don't walk away with two viable Dline players, something is really wrong.
