Roster Review: Front 7 Defense

[jamf]

I think Payne is underrated.
If we move on from anyone I would let Ionides walk. Guy is good but can’t play a full season.

JDR is the biggest weakness. I want to see Young and Sweat chasing QBs not doing lane assignments.

Payne is definitely a very good football player.

Allen is already re-signed (great thing imo). Don't think we can also keep Payne, Ioannidis, and Settle.

I think Settle would be cheaper to re-sign and probably won't be hurt as much as Ioannidis. I hope we can keep Settle on a multi-year deal. Then make a decision on keeping Payne or Ioannidis.

It's a good problem to have, I'd gladly keep any combo that only involves moving 1 of them.

You leave my boy Matty alone. He wasn't fully recovered from his injury last season; he'll be much quicker this season; enough to terrorize QB's again with his inside pass rush.

Settle should have been traded last year because he could start on some teams and he had trade value. Now, we probably can't afford him as a FA and, once again, we'll lose a very good player without getting anything in return. I hate that.

You're right about JDR being our biggest weakness. That applies to every defensive player group.
