3.25 million was a bit too much for a player who can only rush the passer and is "ok" at doing that at best. And he has that bad back. Shocking at first but then ultimately wasn't when you weighed everything into the equation.
My only question is did they upgrade the position much? I'd say maybe a little but not significantly. I think DL is still a glaring weakness.
Alex Brown is an excellent run defender and a decent pass rusher. Wilkerson is a good pass rusher who takes the place of an oft injured McCray. So yes we are way ahead of where we were last year at LDE.
