I think it is more because he was the only one on our DL that could be considered a legitimate starter for an NFL team, so we are now at square 1. They'd better hope Lanier develops and actualizes all that potential they are seeing. Our D line was a weakness last season, and while there is obviously a lot of time to improve it (FA isn't over by any stretch, draft), we just took a step backwards.

I hate losing both DJax and Garcon, especially Garcon. Hate it. That's a lot to swallow. And it isn't as though we used the money they would have commanded to lock up Cousins, who apparently (per the news reports) asked Snyder for a trade. WTF, man. It leaves the impression that no one wants to stick around -- Garcon, Baker, Cousins are good character/locker room guys, and DJax was by all accounts here as well.
