Feels like they dont even have the space to give Trey what he wants.
1) We did sign a FA DE (Ossai at $7 mil).
2) We blew $11 mil in space on the Tee/Chase deals.
3) A Burrow resteucture would free up $19 mil.
4) Pratt & Volson are still in the roster ($9.5 mil between the two).
5) Why keep Moss? ($3.5 mil, IIRC).
That is around $40 mil in extra cap space would could have opened up. $28 of which is still on the table.
But with keeping Ossai & Sample and drafting a DE high, I don't think an outside DE was a good allocation of resources.
