Another approach to take regarding the merits of signing Berry, Poe, etc to large contracts is to first decide who, on our current defensive roster, are the "building blocks" of the future and ensuring that we have the cap room available to keep these players. Who are the disrupters? Who do offensive coordinators have to scheme around? Who are the impact players? I'd offer that these include:
Houston
Jones
Peters
Berry
I just don't see Poe as a key piece. He's a nice player, but certainly doesn't stand out as a disruptor of all things offensive. Whereas the four guys noted above certainly appear to make a difference when they're on the field. With that, I'd lean towards signing Berry and letting Poe walk.....of course, you can't go "blank check" on any of these guys. That said, these are the key guys I'd make every effort to lock up contractwise.
