But you can’t get rid of those two (Ford/Houston) and not add some new foundational pieces along the way. If they don’t sign a player or two such as Landon Collins, Trey Flowers, Anthony Barr, etc., then it comes off a lot like a punt on the 2019 season.
But if you do go out there and make a couple of signings to set your defense up decently heading into the draft with potentially 4 picks in the top 63 and 5 picks in the top 100, you then have a shot to really add depth and playmakers on both sides of the ball. That extra pick might be what they need to feel comfortable drafting a C/G on day two, or a TE. It’ll open their options much more.

They'd obviously be adding something but 37 million for 2 guys who basically never stay healthy is pretty steep...also when you hire a whole new staff for that side it's to see that you may see a huge amount of change.
