This defense is no longer good. The big contracts no longer serve a purpose.
-Hicks ($12 mil salary this year, then free agent)
-Goldman ($7.8 mil, $12 mil next year)
-Quinn ($11 mil this year, $17 mil next year)
-Mack ($15 mil this year, $30 mil next year)
-Jackson ($5 mil this year, $15 mil next year)
-Trevathan ($5 mil this year, $6 mil next year)
That’s $80 million wrapped up in 5 defensive players next year.
Because of dead cap issues, you can’t just jettison all those guys at once, but we’ve definitely seen enough to start phasing them out as quickly as reasonably possible.
Start spending money on o-line help and offensive weapons while re-growing the defense from the ground up.
