Assuming we re-sign Taylor (which we better, there's been too much invested by the staff not to), we'll have a lot of cap space devoted to the safety position. I think the strategy of the f.o. is to start building through the draft more & relying upon cheap young talent to replace the vets on the d-line.
I'm not saying that they won't sign any big free agents in the next few years, but I think they'll start to look to the draft next year & after to rebuild the o & d lines, both of which are old.
I'm guessing that they're not concerned that so much will go to the safety position, rather they need to spread the wealth to both sides of the ball. There's been a lot more guaranteed $ on the O side of the ball for a few years.
