We desperately needed to get some inside pressure on the QB and now I think we'll get that from Hatcher. To me, one of the key things that would make keeping Orakpo worth the money was to improve our inside pass rush. Now we've done that.

It's easy to figure out WHY they paid him: they see him as an impact player at a position where they need the help desperately.
It's one thing to pay for the performance you need, which is what they've done. Whether they're going to get it is a different question. At 6-8 sacks, plus the disruption you would expect from a guy getting to the QB that often, that's the kind of impact you're looking for with this contract.
If the plan works, the interior pass rush should improve, and everyone will benefit.
