It's sure hard to make the case that he's worth the money.

Add a shit-ton of snaps the last few seasons and a back problem, and it's impossible to make the case, IMO.
Also IMO, part of the reason the run defense sucked was because teams realized they didn't need to double Poe - a single blocker was enough, depending on the interior linemen in question.
In other words, he wasn't eating shit. Certainly not double-teams.
