But also if Young isn't back at the start of next season, doesn't get back to where he was last year etc. then we need to know if we have the guy on the roster to be that needed edge rusher, and if not, plan how to will fill that spot. If one of them really steps up then it gives us the luxury of having trade bait and/or options if Young is absent for longer than hoped.

Easy to say than done. Rivera said that none of the free agent pass rushers want to sign with us in the offseason because of Young and Sweat. We likely will have to use draft to find backups.
