We are not poor. We can pay them all. Also it always makes sense to have a great pass rusher, no matter what the rest of the squad looks like. Have a veteran QB? Great, we have a guy who can get to the QB on defense. Have a rookie QB? Great, we have someone to help on defense. Have a horrible roster all around? Here is a great football player to build off of.
