I think that Del Rio could get this squad into the top third of the NFL, with Chase Young, some good draft picks, judicious use of FA in CB and DB. It’s about motivation, discipline, leadership, instruction and and aggressive and imaginative schemes. All which were lacking with Greg Manusky.
We can get into the top third of NFL defenses, in just one season. We can be in the top 5 in 2021. That’s something to get excited about -when was the last time we had an elite defense?

Yes sir. Better coaching and play calling is going to make us instantly better. It is so much easier when players are in the right position, playing solid technique and coached to improve each time they take the field. Young talented players improving...remember that?
We have a good young nucleus, adding Chase Young to: Jonathan Allen, Matt Ioannidis, Daron Payne, Montez Sweat and Tim Settle will create a deep line rotation that combines size, strength and pass rush. Putting Sweat at DE in a 4 man line opposite Chase on pass situations will make Sweat better.

Cut Paul Richardson (post June 1 designation) / $6.5M saved and $2M cap hit.
Cut Jordan Reed / $8.5M saved and $1.8M cap hit.
Cut Ryan Kerrigan / $11.7M saved and $0 cap hit
Cut Josh Norman / $12.5M saved and $3M hit

I would consider keeping Trent Williams if he is healthy, in shape and hungry to play.
